Peter Fox – River Raft Guide, Author

Peter Fox fell in love with rowing boats on rivers in 1980, the first time he ever picked up a pair of oars on the Stanislaus River. He started teaching rowing in 1982. In 1983 he was hired by Sobek Expeditions to guide on his first world class river, the Bio Bio in Chile. In 1985 he helped lead first raft descents of two world renowned rivers, the Futaleufú in Patagonia, and the Grand Canyon of the Stikine in northern British Columbia. He has rowed rivers on four continents, and since retiring from guiding has pursued a personal rowing practice of deepening his connection with rivers, and enjoying a lifetime of feeling like a kid on a playground. In 2014 Peter went back to leading down river rowing schools for the Northwest Rafting Company. He is currently writing a memoir and history of whitewater rowing. At age 70, he still rows, teaches, and believes that anyone can find a level that is right for them to have a life changing relationship with running rivers.
