Robert Lang of New Brunswick, Canada - the current all time record holder of the Kenduskeag with a race time of 1:50:08, set in 1997.
Earl Baldwin of Orrington is a boat builder and Maine paddling legend. An octogenarian, Baldwin often cruises past other paddlers who are a less than a quarter of his age.
The Gumby Boat is something of an institution on the Kenduskeag. They've been featured in Sports Illustrated among other national publications.
