A pro that enters lots of comps around the world and if they get to the top ten then they could easily get aroung £30-45000!!

[color=red:63ffb57cf4][/color:63ffb57cf4]Pro's don't make too much cash. Thats not why they're there anyway. I'm not a pro but i'm sure they're just super happy to be paid to paddle!! :dance:

Most Sponsored paddlers are not paid or given free gear, the gear is usually sold at a discount rate.
Some full time paddlers get travel paid for and gear but its alot more work than most think.

The only way of going "pro or sponsored" is to win comps, get noticed, get Articles into magazines. Either that or do some hung expeditions and or first decents!

Its not what you know its who you know.
and finally people who stand up and say they are sponcered are lying! real sponsored and Pro's show it on the water.

ive been wondering too and pros apparently dont get much at all. Even kayaking instructor dont get much money.

I went work experience to a kayaking centre and some of them couldn't even afford to drive to work lol.

the pro kayakers i kno have other jobs. one works at a kayak shop in california, and is on jackson's team, another lives in flagstaff, az and writes guide books. competing (and winning) and getting amazing video seems to be the only way to break out into full fledge pro
