Steve Traves saw Stefan's name in the exhibitor directory at Outdoor Retailer show, found the San Francisco Hat Company booth and tapped his old University High School buddy on the shoulder. Steve's wearing a Riverz Outback. Note the beautiful paddle. Steve made it himself. Here is his description of the rig he used to take this picture.

"Hi,
the weather just got better. The air is cooler but the water is still warm so I went out for a nice morning paddle. Came up with a better way to take pictures too. I had an old light-weight aluminum mono-pod about four feet long on my little quickie digital camera and managed to get some better pics than before when I did hand-held."
