Have been away for several days, and missed the start of this thread - but if the question is who is over a certain age, I reluctantly admit to being a qualified senior. I'm 66 1/2 years old. The changes in my paddling so far have been that I don't do whitewater any more, and for the last two winters I haven't paddled each of the colder months, but have stopped somewhere around Dec 1 - Dec 15 and resumed sometime in March, though the water here stays about 38 degrees until late March, heats up to about 45 by late April or early May, and doesn't get into the 60s until late June. Looks like I won't get on the ocean this year either, but that's not because of age. I'm not counting out next year.
