Denny Paull wins Marathon Sea Kayak Championship

Fri, Aug  20, 2010 - By Tracy Hardin

It is an incredible story.  Denny Paull in only his 2nd year competing in kayak racing, entered the  US National Canoe & Kayak Championships in Peshtigo, WI, and he won the sea kayak 14 mile race on Sunday August 15.

You will have to get the details from Denny but it is an epic tale and one hell of an effort from a Michigan Cup skier.  Denny Paull is a National Champion!

Andy Triebold and Bruce barton were there competing in canoe races as well.
