In this episode I sit down with Cody Howard for a ride through the undulations of life. Join us as we discuss: learning to kayak in the backyard pool, living through a piece of history in Fallujah, unlocking whitewater runs in the elusive canyons of Arizona, witnessing the world record waterfall descent in a kayak, and that's just scratching the surface.
