Where it all began.

Kayaking was always in Mailas future. Growing up alongside the Trisuli river in Nepal, everyone guessed what Maila's future was hold. Before he had even turned 8, he showed promise of things to come and he was a natural. Learning from his older brothers who always gave him the opportunity to raft and kayak, Maila quickly grew to love the river and become a great kayaker.
