It’s the little things!
Sometimes it is the quiet things,
the simple gestures and acts of faith which make all of the difference.
I first made contact with Chris
at Chill Cheater during my time on the Canada Alaska Sea Kayak
Expedition. Chris was generous enough to support the Expedition with
clothing and encouragement, something we needed in abundance.
Years later, in search of fabric
for a hand grip, I contacted Chris again. He sent samples and off-cuts for our
design prototyping, and the FIST 3.0 Handgrip was born; a lightweight, warm,
hand grip which has been gripping hands to paddles for the past ten
years. All this sounds like a standard arrangement, but no, the
generosity from Chill Cheater has not stopped. Generous off-cuts have
allowed us to make sport more accessible to those with limited hand function,
by enabling us to make the FIST with reduced material costs and so reduce
the price ..... they don’t cost the earth!
If you ever wanted to know where
the oval in the middle of your Chill Cheater spray deck gets used, now you do.
Thanks Chris and family, for your
continued silent support.
Suresh and the EA Team.
