Jackson Kayak No Attain No Gain
Jackson Kayak - This year I decided to make it a goal to paddle a longboat regularly for overall training and race as many events as possible.

I was intrigued by attaining because I’d never really done it much but knew it was a good all around training method and exercise. Especially when water is low for surf and seams. Encouragement and persuasion from friends definitely played a role which I am grateful for, they were right.
