Repeat the feat! Stoked to announce Kaelin Friedenson, the 2022 U21 Male Paddler of the Year Award. Kaelin is leading the charge for the next generation of do-it-all kayakers. 2022 saw him going huge on the flooded high-volume rivers of Canadian Stakeout; pushing downriver freestyle and chasing waterfalls in Europe and North & Central America; and racing towards the podium finishes at slalom races, extreme races, and freestyle competitions. A huge year once again for Kaelin, who wins this awards for the second year in a row.
