Gadd (Canada)
Will
Gadd is one of the top extreme sports athletes in the world. To climbers, he is known for
radical ice routes, high-level competition climbing and slide shows about mountain
experiences. Kayakers know him for pioneering new descents down wilderness rivers across
North America, as well as teaching and writing about paddling for magazines. In
paragliding, he is best known for record-setting paragliding flights (current
national/world record holder), as well as decent competition results both in the US and
Canada. But in all sports he is known for his excellent safety record, intense love for
adventure and enthusiasm--even when things aren't going exactly as planned. Gadd's
athletic abilities have earned him recognition as a top competitor and athlete, but he's
also known for his ability and desire to complete successful, safe outings, even in
adverse conditions.
