    This is awesome! It is great to see someone finding challenges and conquering them. I have paddled at the white water center, and I can not imagine doing it blind. I'm not trying to criticize what you guys are doing because I think it is awesome, but I think that it would be good to talk a bit about safety in the video. Even if you are not handicapped at all it does not mean that you will be able to just hop on a river and go. There are experienced people in this group who are ready to help him.
