2021 Paddlers Awards Winners – SEND (Crew Award)

And the winner is… SEND. Between Dane Jackson, Bren Orton, Adrian Mattern, and Kalob Grady, almost no aspect of kayaking is left untouched. From coaching to hole boating to big wave freestyle to waterfalls, downriver freestyle, steep creeking, racing, and first descents, SEND does it all, and does it well. Not to mention a high level of media produced all year round, SEND is without a doubt the crew of the year 2021.
