Lee Waters

Lee is a former Royal Marines Commando with a background of white water and Kayak marathon racing.

Lee has completed the gruelling Devizes to Westminster race four times, notably the last two with a triple amputee veteran and friend raising money for various charities.

The team of two also paddled as part of the Queens Diamond Jubilee pageant on the Thames in Sea Kayaks, and this is where Lee believes his Sea Kayak obsession began.

A passionate wildlife enthusiast Lee is a strong advocate of the leave no trace policy and provides informative and fun alternative culinary and fire lighting experiences from a Sea Kayak.
