In paddling circles, Tony Greyson-Newman is known as “The Jamaican Kayaksman”, as he made history as the first person to represent Jamaica internationally in sprint kayaking.

We caught up with 2021 #ShePaddles Ambassador Gemma Palmer-Dighton this Black History Month. Gemma is proud to be a role model for people from a global majority background who might not have considered taking up paddleboarding as a sport.
