I was born and raised in Bozeman, MT by a couple of outdoor loving parents. I started whitewater kayaking when I was 10 years old and didn't catch the addiction until I was 13 on a trip down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Since that faithful trip down ditch I have been chasing whitewater far and wide on 6 of the 7 continents down thousands of hidden beautiful streams. My favorite type of whitewater is continuous mid-volume rivers with a mix of drops and technical rapids. My favorite place to paddle is The Sierra Mountains of California. I currently reside in White Salmon, WA where we can run hard accessible rivers 365 days a year. My second home is Patagonia, Chile where my older brother has settled down to run his business."

As a paraglider, he pioneered a route over the Alaska Range along with Dave Turner, and completed several expeditions over remote areas across North America. As a sailor, he circumnavigated the Earth twice. McClurg set the free-distance USA foot launch paragliding record at 387 km in 2013, taking off from Sun Valley, Idaho.[5] He was awarded the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year nomination in 2015 for an 18-day crossing of the Canadian Rockies from McBride, British Columbia to the US border with Will Gadd, documented in the film The Rockies Traverse.[6][7] McClurg completed the Red Bull X-Alps race in July, 2015 finishing in 8th place.[8] On May 5, 2016 McClurg set out with Dave Turner to traverse the full length of the Alaska Range by foot and paraglider, unsupported. The 480 mile route had never been attempted by paraglider. McClurg completed the route solo on June 17, 2016 after 37 days." - Gavin's wiki page
