Particularly Dr. > Wilde's paper. Opps, 'experience' was a bad word choice. This late in the day I'm having a hard time finding a different word. What if I put the quotes in a different place like: With all the interest in paddling gear and safety, why almost no focus on 'the paddling experience'? Trying to capture why we paddle in the first place, just don't know what word to use. Some paddle for the beauty of nature, others the solitude, others have even different reasons or several reasons. What ever that is, is the word I should have used...
