“Rivers like this are exciting, scary and unknown,” Newman said. “Whitewater is ephemeral, that’s why we keep chasing it. A lot of people see happiness as a whole – family, job, house, money – but I see whitewater as these super, super happy moments, and then I move on to the next thing.” … “My why is always changing. Whitewater pulls you toward a river, but what you remember is the people you were with, not the whitewater.”
