How did you start or get introduced to Kayaking?

My elder brother is a very good kayaker, he inspired me to take on this sport. During my school days, I used to see some people kayaking, and I enjoyed it a lot. Since my uncle and brother were also practising this sport, I tried my hand at it too. That's the short story of how I started and, I love water and adventure.


What are the technical and protective equipment you use?

My kayak of choice from what we have, a kayak paddle. For protection, I use a life jacket, a helmet and a spray deck.


Who was your inspiration? is he/she still your favourite?

My Brother has and will always be my inspiration.
