#33 - Billy Whitford: Part 1 - An Icon in Paddling & Rowing Programs in the US & Executive Director of the (exceptional) Newport Aquatic Center.
Billy Whitford is one of my favorite people; and he does not like to be the focus of attention. =)
He’d rather be behind the scenes; developing programs, organizing events, supporting groups, driving boats and trucks, and doing whatever needs to be done… at any hour; and he’s done this for decades. His influence has impacted the lives of countless people; far and wide.
In this episode, Billy shares his story of growing up in and around the ocean, being influenced by Polynesian culture, scouting, playing sports, influential coaches; and his introduction to outrigger paddling at a super early age.
These experiences, and many instrumental people, have ultimately resulted in Billy's ascension to being a major influence in paddling and rowing programs in the US and beyond.
