Cristi Manea AKA Lownlee Kayak - Building and learning from an online kayak community

Cristi Manea is someone you probably know, but whose name you probably haven’t heard.  Cristi started his paddling journey four years ago and in that time he has learned a lot from the online community and stepped up to build one of the largest online paddling communities in Facebook. We’ll talk today about how that process has made a Lownlee kayaker a happy kayaker.
