Totally Shameless Plug for Potomac Paddlesports
So, I’ve been out to Potomac Paddlesports’ shop (in Rockville,MD, near the White Flint Metro station) a bunch in the past week, and I love it. It’s only about a 40 minute metro ride for me, and then a little walk. I go out there because I really have got to get out of the house or I’ll get cabin fever. Since I don’t want to just hang out at the mall or some place like that, I’d rather go to someplace I can talk to people about paddling. The people I’ve met there are really great, super helpful, and willing to chat. Also, I’ve been able to get some tips on getting a job as a paddling instructor. I hope to work at the shop at some point, maybe in the next two years. I’d really love to work there instead of a McDonald’s or a gas station.

All in all, it’s nice to have a place kind of nearby that I can go to and chill in the midst of paddling paraphernalia. I can go there, check out some boats, talk to the people there about new gear, and chill on a comfy couch while watching kayak vids (Expeditions down the Yarlung Tsangpo, or just straight out freestyle in “New Reign”) For everyone in my area, GO TO POTOMAC PADDLESPORTS!!! It’s really a great place.
PS: Thanks to Katja and Trop (I think…) for indulging me at the shop.
