Junior women’s freestyle champ Rowan Stuart joins up with Werner Paddles this week after scooping up a gold at the IFC World Championships in September.
The 17-year-old North Carolina native is stoked about the new deal and not letting her freestyle success narrow the focus of her kayaking career.
“Right now I’m hoping to get out onto some more creeks, and add more variety to my boating,” she says. Her goal is to do more in the world of racing, and make the most of next summer’s competition scene, as it will be her last season to compete in junior divisions.
Signing on with Werner adds to an already-impressive list of sponsorships, and Stuart’s excited be joining a new team. “[Werner] is a great match for me,” she says. “The team is sick, and of course the paddles are excellent. I plan on working with them for a long time in the future.”
