There will be a little time for Q+A with Jim Farintosh at Saturday's Summit... but even if you can't make it, I'd love to know... what would you ask a coach with a track record like Jim's?

I am just finishing my 5th season paddling with the Dragon Divas. I have loved paddling the past 4 year and this past season I got the opportunity to learn to steer which was amazing. I couldn't stop grinning ear to ear every time I saw my name in the steer position on the roster. I am excited to take this course to learn more about steering so some day I'll get to steer in a festival.

I’m just curious what’s your best “worst” steering story? I feel like so often I am going to fall in! Have any of you had that happen? What about other scary stories that maybe now you can look back on and laugh about? I’m in the mood for some entertaining stories!
