(noun) Paddler, of any level, who loves the River and the river lifestyle.
Goes rafting, kayaking, canoeing, SUP,
whatever! Swims like a fish, and loves
rain as much as sun. May be
broke in the pocket, but rich and giving in the soul. Speaks the universal language, that of the River, in any of the tongues of the Dirtbag Paddler World - which is all of them. Survives on whatever it takes to get that next WALLACE fix. Would throw a rope to anyone! If your car smells like your gear, or better yet if you HAVE no car, you're a dirtbag.
