Doug Ammons

Doug Ammons who? Most people ask.

Doug is a famous paddler in the USA. He has pushed the boundaries of kayaking. Doug paddled solo the Stikine River in Canada. A river not to be taken lightly!

This trip has been compared to solo climbs of Everest and one of the greatest feats in the history of kayaking.

Doug is coming to our uni to talk about his life of paddling and talk about the solo run he has never spoken about publicly before.
