When paddling K-2, named one of the "Satanic Doublemint twins," "Syncopated Satanettes," "Doublemint Devilettes," and "Titian Twin Terrors" by John Pescatore.
Mostly everyone else just calls me crazy.
952 Statute Miles Paddled in 2008 (paddling season ended two months early).
1,157 Statute Miles Paddled in 2007.
1,137 Statute Miles Paddled in 2006.
My Boats:
Knysna Daggar ICF K2 (Almost, it's coming from South Africa and will be custom made for Kathy and me!)
And yes I do use all of them.
I need a cardboard sign, "Will do legal work for kayaks."
My Pennkayaking Personal Ad (by the way this is meant as a joke!):
I'm Susan, better known as "S," "You're an animal," or "Are you swimming ...
again?" I'm a capricorn, which explains why I keep getting back on my ski. My
turn-ons are guys in black Underarmour and any guy who has something longer than
19' and knows how to use it. I like a guy who can paddle me hard but still be a
gentleman and put my boat up on my van when we're finished. If you know how to
gelcoat and own a GPS, you just might be the one.

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." -Saki
"Hana ka hoe, pa'a ka waha" or, basically, "shut up and paddle."
"I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything." -Bart Simpson
"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." -Coco Chanel
"No law ever written has stopped any robber, rapist or killer, like cold blue steel in the hands of their last intended victim." -W. Emerson Wright
"It's great to win, but it's also great fun just to be in the thick of any truly well and hard fought contest against opponents you respect, whatever the outcome." -Jack Nicklaus
Kathy is not only my best friend and kayak coach, but way back in the beginning she was my dragonboat coach. She took me, and our team, from being a bunch of women who didn't know which end of the paddle went in the water all the way to our world gold and silver medals in Rome, Italy. We never ever would have made it without her patience, coaching skills, encouragement, humor, and definitely her determination!
Susan's ladyjustice 70 mile General Clinton Race Training Diaries
The longest single day flat water canoe race in the world.
A grueling 70 mile test of endurance, stamina, and canoeing skills.
The General Clinton 70 mile race took place on Memorial Day 2007. Then I did it again on Memorial Day 2008.
Photos of my best friend's famous Borzois. Check out their appearances in the NYC Ballet Giselle, Westminster Dog Show, and the Ralph Lauren advertisement.
