To add to Sheila’s and Linda’s history info on paddling in NL, here is a classic letter we had hanging at the shop in Cape Broyle for years. It dates back to early 1970’s, a few years after Dad completed the first instructors course in Canada. Kirk Whipper and others taught it and everytime I met him he would bring up Dad’s ‘energy’ at that training. Of the tens of thousands of folks we took paddling, those that went with us from the shop and saw this hung on the wall, only a handful recognized the names on the letter. That was the start of ‘official verified paddling’ in Canada. The sport has come a very long way indeed.

Continuing with my post yesterday with pictures of the old team in action, here's a few more.

Found a stack of pictures showing some of the Stan Cook Beach Team in action. It's too bad I can't find pictures of all our co-workers but here a few of those stars. If anyone has some photos of our guides in action please send them along, with the year if possible.

I told Dad that judging by the amount of kayaks, SUPs and canoes being sold this summer, I'd love to have this 1970 trailer load of boats show up at his place.

Another old pic I found today. I'm thinking around 1983 or '84. A few beauts on this canoe trip. The original staycations.
