Sergio Greguoldo sent a great email thanking Werner for investing in Kayak Symposiums. We love attending all sorts of paddling events, being on the water and sharring is what paddling is all about. Here is what Sergio had to say...
I'd like to take a moment to thank you for Werner's participation and sponsorship of several events that I have attended.
First I'd like to note that I am the proud owner of three Werner paddles - I originally started with the San Juan and through some great guidance and suggestions by Danny Mongno I now have a couple of Ikelos, which I am truly hooked on. I love the quality of the workmanship and the paddle - and while I don't purposely set out to "ding' my paddle off rocks (it is hard not to do so when enjoying rock hopping and gardening) that's where I really appreciate the solidness of the paddle and of the blade.
As I noted earlier I have been fortunate to attend several events - Georgia, Bar Harbor - where Werner/Danny has had involvement. All I can say is thank you - for helping to ensure that such events do go on.
I live and paddle in Nova Scotia Canada - we, unfortunately, have no such local symposia taking place here. Having you sponsor an event like Carpe Diem's Bar Harbor event ensures that I can get to a quality kayaking symposium and be exposed to some of the best coaches and products available in kayaking.
Should you wonder whether it is worthwhile participating in this type of event - let me reassure you it is, and it is greatly appreciated. The ability to meet, learn, get to know and paddle with people such as Danny (Werner Paddles), Leon Somme, Shawna Franklin (Body Boat Blade), Todd Johstone-Wright, Mark Schoon and Mel Rice (Carpe Diem) is awesome - the ability to do so in a single venue, - is simply amazing.
So let me just say thank you once again - for your incredible product - and most of all for your caring enough to sponsor events that can only benefit all participants in this great chosen sport of ours called Kayaking.
Sincerely
Sergio Greguoldo
