Bill Anderson
Freestyle Kayak
Favourite Alpkit products:
Filo down jacket
Significant or memorable achievements:
Every new river I paddle is a good new memory
Upcoming projects:
Graduate (hopefully!) in May then spend the summer traveling round Europe.
Best comp results:
7th British Champs 2007
Peak Uk Challenge junior Champion 2000 & 2002
Activities:
I spend all my free time kayaking, whether playboating at Teesside, out on a local river or after the long drive to Scotland to find some water. I can’t wait to graduate this year and am looking forward to going back to Europe with my boat. I’m hoping to visit Slovenia, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany then head up to Norway. The Freestyle World Cup series is in Europe this year so I am hoping to compete in the 3 events in Prague, Augsberg and Thun.
Et cetera:
Hopefully get a freestyle event back to Teesside!
