Thank you, Aka, for teaching me and so many others what paddling is all about, from the parts of the canoe to how to be a confident steersperson. Your generosity and your legacy will always be remembered as the heart and soul of paddling.

Thanks Aka for everything you did and the legacy you leave behind. Big shoes for someone to fill.
Being stuck on the reef with you in the 4man out front of Outrigger Club always brings a chuckle.
RIP mate.
