More about Jonas Ecker
First Strokes
I was introduced to paddling by my mom, a surfski paddler, when she signed me up for the founding summer camp of the Bellingham Canoe Kayak Sprint Team.
Off the Water
When not paddling I can be found studying Marine Biology and Chemistry at the University of Washington, skate skiing, backpacking, hiking, and cycling.
