[Paddlewise] Be a guide "About" "Paddling"

About.Com has an opening for a "guide" for "paddling". Maybe you'll qualify ... i didn't. I got the passion and interest but not some of the other stuff... 
   
  I have not financial or other interests in About.Com nor will i benefit in any way other than the information posted in the forum as any other individual would benefit. 
   
  i'd just like to see if filled.
