Who is he?
A 36 year old Belgian Police-inspector, born in Belgium
and still living in Belgium, together with his wife
Nicole and two daughters; Ellen and Lara. Besides paddling
rivers across the world, Steven loves to collect old
kayak-publications, travelling and being outdoor.
He was a member of the Belgian downriver-team, participating
in several world championships. Started boating at the
age of 6 and went paddling in almost every continent
(no Oceania yet)
2004 personal
highlights:
- 3 weeks of paddling in Ecuador:
In February I went paddling in Ecuador, together with
some of my Belgian friends and French friends, Les Caskaboulons.
We paddled rivers in the Tena and Quichos area and explored
some rivers around Banos. The Rio Topo was the absolute
top river during our trip. Another challenge during
our trip were the 75 cl cooled beers.
- Norway: In july I drove my old Traffic to Norway where
I went paddling rivers like the Rauma, Ulva, Finna and
Songdalselva, and many more All beautiful rivers in
an amazing scenery. Unfortunately the beer here was
very expensive.
- A one week mini-trip to the Pyrenees, where we were
lucky to find enough, much and too much water.
Favourite
rivers:
Note: I like all rivers, all rivers
have their own character
- Grand Canyon of the Colorado River
- Tro Marêts and Hoegne (Belgium)
- Veneon
- Narrows of the Green
- Rio Colca and Cotahuasi in Peru
