How did you start in your sport? (What’s your origin story?)
Had a friend of mine talk me in to getting a kayak for fishing. I have always been competitive so when I found out I could do that and compete, it was a quick, easy, and natural decision to start.
What is your favorite Dakota Lithium Product & WHY?
54ah Battery. I created my own battery box for it. I run 2 GoPros, LEDs, Phone Charger, and my 9” Raymarine Element HV with no fear of running out of power.
