Paddler's Tan

A suntan pattern on the back of human hands unique to those who paddle kayaks and surfskis for long periods of time in sunlight. Indicated by the back of the hands being very sun tanned to the knuckle and then from the knuckles to the tips of the fingers much lighter because those parts of the top of the fingers wrap under the paddle shaft and are not exposed to the same amount of direct sunlight.

That guy who kayaks a lot has gnarly Paddler's Tan.

dirtbag paddler 

(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.

One Love, One River! -Dirtbag Paddler
In my opinion, being a dirtbag paddler is a much nobler pursuit than merely trading my hours for a handful of dimes.
