You know the type.
Not chasing podiums. Not skipping the club session either. Trains in the rain, races for the tea afterwards, and wears the result on a t-shirt instead of a medal.
Not chasing podiums. Not skipping the Tuesday club session either. Out on the water when it's raining sideways, timing splits nobody else will ever see, and calling it a good day if the boat stayed upright.
The World's Okayest Paddler and I Love Paddling tees exist for exactly that paddler — the one who trains like it matters and races like it's fun, because for most of us, that's the actual sport.
Part of Across The Water's Chilled Out range — Vector Paddle's home for the humour and lifestyle side of paddling, sitting alongside the seven core racing Vectors for when the podium isn't the point.
Two designs. One honest truth.
