Richard Martin of Potomac Paddlesports to Present at May Meeting

Richard Martin from Potomac Paddlesports will help us kick off the warm weather season on May 30th by covering things that you should consider before purchasing a new kayak, as well as water safety.

Richard is a man of many skills and interests. In addition to his boating interests--which include play-boating, outfitting and repair of kayaks--Richard is a primitive skills expert (think survival in the wild), owl caretaker, Level 2 archery instructor and passionate hunter and outdoorsman. And if that’s not enough, look for Richard on the theatrical stage from time to time as well! A native Marylander, Richard lives in Ellicott City with his wife and two children and can often be found caring for a barred owl named Ranger with the Howard County Conservancy's Owl Outreach Program.  

Potomac Paddlesports is an award-winning kayak school and a small, independent, locally-owned specialty shop serving the needs of paddlers in the Washington Metropolitan area. In addition to high-quality instruction on the Potomac river, they offer new and used kayaks for sale, as well as other gear for paddlers. Their store is located in Rockville, Maryland. Potomac Paddlesports was the first professional kayak school to have its entire program fully sanctioned by the American Canoe Association.

This promises to be an important and valuable progam to kick off the warm weather season.
