Fiona Wylde is a product of Hood River and the Columbia Gorge–friends and family, the Jet Team, and the rugged and unforgiving Columbia River all have shaped and tempered her into the competitive and kind person she is today.  Fiona talks about those early years and the people, places, and events that forged who she is and how she is paying it forward to others in the sport.

Fiona is one of the top female stand up paddle racers in the world, and diabetic!  In this episode of Stand Up Paddle The World Radio, Fiona also explains her strategies of controlling her diabetes on and off the race course and the technology that makes it happen.
