Top Gun Podcast #6: Canoeist Steve Corlew

If you’ve been on the race course with today’s guest of the Ski to Sea Top Gun Racer Podcast, Steve Corlew, chances are you brought home a nice, shiny, 2nd place trophy.

Steve would never say such an arrogant thing himself — his humility runs a fair bit deeper than the rivers he races on.

But Yeah, he’s THAT fast in a canoe!

Some of it comes from growing up in Grayling, Michigan, where some of the best paddlers in the country are born and bred.

Some of it comes from his technician’s approach to studying and refining the forward stroke, with the help of such legends as Serge Corbin, Butch & Brett Stockton, Jeff Kolka, and the man Steve used to pretend to be when he was a kid — his current Ski to Sea race partner, Bill Torongo.

At 30 years old, Steve still has the majority of his race career in front of him. But he has a LOT of priceless go-fast wisdom to share, and he delivers a healthy dose of it in this interview.
