Bryan Gingg was the test pilot for an adaptive kayak developed for use by quadriplegic or paraplegic recreationalists. A Cal Poly alumnus who has been in a wheelchair for more than 20 years, Gingg was the first to sail a new high-tech kayak developed by Cal Poly kinesiology and engineering faculty and students. He used a mouth-held electronic "straw" to control the kayak.

  • Excellent guys!!! Keep up the great work! I'm sure you know how important you were really is to the disabled. However, it can never be stated enough. You're giving all of us the opportunity to live more independent lives and do things we wouldn't otherwise be able to do if it weren't for your work.

    If you need another tester, let me know. :)
