Mads
Heyo! I’m Mads (they/them), one of the co-founders of QPP. I started white water kayaking 10 years ago in upstate NY before moving to CO and settling down with the beautiful Poudre river . I love being gay in nature and can’t wait to paddle with you.
Burgundy
Hello! I’m Burgundy (they/she). You’ll find me behind the scenes of QPP, doing all things planning and marketing, and at paddling events, learning more about whitewater paddling. I started various paddling sports at an early age and have taught learners of all ages about paddling basics and safety. I can’t wait to get on the river with you all in QPP.
Tanner
Hi! I'm Tanner (he/him). My first time kayaking was with a community kayaking club in Madison, WI, and I loved having a safe and supportive place to start out and get better at kayaking. I eventually became an instructor with the club and want to continue sharing the sport with you in QPP.
