Here are the initial words that began a good friendship with Sean over the last few years. Have a look at what he's been up to and also his missioning with Yappster over the last few years. And oh yeah, the Oz Kayak Nationals they ran are featured on the site.

“I’m a Freestyle Kayaker based in Melbourne. I’m best mates with Anthony Yap, one of your guys; we ran the recent surf comp at Phillip Island where I placed a close second to him.

I’ll be joining Anthony in Canada in about a month for some serious boating there, in Uganda and a couple of other locations on our round the world trip.

I’ve attached a few photos that you may like to use; there are a few great ones with the Rat really visible. Do you think there’s any chance of getting a little package of stickers and maybe a t-shirt or two sent out this way?".

The answer: within months he had our digi cam fulltime! 

I’ve attached a couple of pics for you to have a look at, and it’d be worth having a look at my website here as well.

I’m pretty outspoken and a well recognised figure on the sport in Australia, present at almost all events in the South East of Aus.

I’m currently hooked up with Electric Water, Bliss Stick, Woody paddles and SeaSpecs and I’d love to join the Rat Team also.

Hearing from you soon, cheers - Sean".
