Paddle adventure

Along with the Whittakers, Lou Whittaker founded JanSport, and RMI, Brother Jim who was the first American to summit Everest, we have our own local adventuring founder in Chris Duff.Chris is a legend in adventure kayaking, and since 1983 has paddled over 14,000 miles. He is typical of the folk that live out here, soft spoken, humble, and tough as hell. His next adventure is the North Atlantic, not in any normal craft, a rowing Kayak. I was lucky enough to watch them testing his custom craft at the paddling symposium this last weekend at Hollywood beach.


























Good luck Chris, we will be cheering you on from our little town.

Port Angeles Culture

I believe the people that have lived in this area share common needs (beyond staying dry) that have created a character, and culture worthy of preservation.
