OUR STAFF

 

 

Kelly McDowell, President:

Kelly, a Toronto local, started paddling when he lived in Victoria and has since had many years of international paddling experience during which time he guided/instructed in Europe, Central America and the Middle East, but his personal favourite was beautiful Whitsunday’s Islands on the East Coast of Australia were he refined his open ocean navigational skills doing multi-day trips and instructing for the local community. Kelly now takes great pride in owning and operating The Complete Paddler, so you will usually find him there. On occasion you might find him paddling in any back woods area in Ontario with his wife Christa.
