Eric Jakson. Eric Jakson was born on March 3, 1964. He is a world-champion freestyle kayaker, kayak designer, and small business owner. He has good family. His children Emily and Dane are also competitive kayakers and have won different world kayaking competitions. Eric has been world champion for four times on freestyle kayaking (1993, 2001, 2005, 2007). In 1992, Jackson competed in Barcelona as part of the U.S. Olympic team, finishing 13th in the K-1 event. After spending many years designing kayaks for various manufacturers, Eric founded Jackson Kayak in October 2003. I like Eric because he successfully managed to balance his hobby, family, and business.
Tao Berman. Tao Berman was born in 1979. He is very likely the most famous extreme kayaker around the world. He has set 3 world records so far. The first one is World Record Waterfall Descent at 98.4ft or 30 meters. (current World Record Waterfall Descent is about 60 meters :). Also, Tao has more than 50 first waterfalls descents. I like Tao because he has made a name in sports, and now other people pay him money for kayaking.
