Meet Courtney

For Courtney, kayaking represents freedom, adventure, and the opportunity to experience places most people will never see. Whether paddling close to home or traveling across the globe, she approaches every river with curiosity, passion, and a drive to keep progressing.

Her freestyle kayaking career includes international competition appearances, World Cup podium finishes, and selection as one of six athletes chosen to represent freestyle kayaking during the London 2012 Olympic Games showcase. Courtney has paddled across New Zealand, the United States, Canada, England, Uganda, and Germany while continuing to inspire paddlers through competition and exploration.

Courtney’s favorite Sawyer setup is the Cross Cut Whitewater Kayak Paddle. She values its lightweight feel, dependable control, and responsive performance for freestyle moves and long days on whitewater.
