“Extreme White Water”
A presentation by Doug Ammons
UK Tour March 2009
Aberdeen, Wednesday 4th March

Doug Ammons is one of America’s most famous white water paddlers - known for his outrageous solo descents of Class V+ and VI runs – and especially the Grand Canyon of the Stikine. Doug is an award winning writer and photographer and perhaps the most articulate and inspiring paddler in the world today. This is an evening that will entertain, thrill, and leave you mentally hung out to dry! Book early!
Doug will be signing his latest books – “Whitewater Philosophy” and “Stikine” with ALL proceeds to Nepali charities.
