This has been one of the best years of my life. I came back from Mexico with my first real injury ever a broken rib so I got to spent 1 month and a half healing myself and getting to spent an amazing time with my family! First paddling I got to do was in the west of Spain, Galicia and Portugal two true creeking paradises on the right time of the season!
