Craig Hill - Marketing Director
Craig's been involved with Paul and Cherry for so long he's practically been adopted - Starting paddling in 1987, originally with the Scout organisation and then with Adventure Dolphin in Pangbourne, he's dabbled at pretty much every discipline and craft out there - refusing to accept defeat, even learning the delicate art of high kneeling C1 to prove a point. Pangbourne nudged him into the coaching scheme and he now holds coaching qualifications in kayak, open canoe, bell boating, white water racing and marathon/sprint coaching. He spent four years as the southern region's Paddlesport Development Officer, so is known to most of the clubs in the area too!
Over the years he's competed in marathon K1, K2, C1 & C2, even winning the 2004 Waterside series and Devizes to Westminster Canoe race C1 class..... When he's not competing or coaching, he can often be found playing on the Thames weirs
His latest challenge is to learn the forgotten art of high kneeling C1, and attempt DW in one - details can be seen here: Craig's Blog
