[Sportsandrec] Whitewater Kayaking?

[Roger Acuna]

One person I know of is an olypian rower.  She may be able to provide you 
with valuable  input.  Her name is Airael  Gilbert who works with Guide Dogs 
For The Blind.  I'm sure she would be happy to speak to you about this and 
you may contact her there by calling: 800-295-5040.
