In this episode of Sandy’s Paddling Podcast, I sit down with two longtime friends, racers, and watermen — Carter Johnson and Dave Jensen. With decades of paddling, racing, and adventuring between them, Carter and Dave share stories from the early days on the water to their favorite races along the way. They also dive into the origins of the U.S. Surfski Champs and how it evolved into today’s Gorge Downwind Champs.
