Dr Adya Misra discovered kayaking living in Sweden in 2014 and it made such an impression on her life she decided to change her career so she could spend less time in the research lab and more time outside on the water! She later trained as a paddle coach, discovered paddle boarding too and since then has gone onto become a British Canoeing #ShePaddles Club Champion hoping to improve representation of women at her local canoe club in Liverpool. Adya continues her passion for improving diversity in paddlesports in her blog and in this episode we talks openly about the subjects she writes about including gender and ethnic diversity within the paddlesports community.
