Palm Blogs: Youth Freestyle, Nottingham Palm Equipment/Dagger Europe have been major sponsors of the Youth Freestyle series over the last couple of years and have provided a huge number of prizes at each event.

Evan Garcia: Upper Palguin ¨obamamos¨ On the day of the election for our new prez we all decided to head up to the rio Palguin for a good huck session. With cold rain and wind we were pretty stoked to hold back for another day to get on the Middle so we went all the way up and rallied out the classic Upper section. All the first 4 drops were all good and now totally clear of wood from the flodding of the winter.

Mt. Hood H2O: Lewis (falls Section) Birthday Run For my birthday, my family, girlfriend and I camped at the Lower falls campground. It had been over a year since I was here last. That time I had shyed away from the lower falls after seeing Rush Sturges get stuck in the cave, and I broke my nose running Upper falls. This year, my goal was to run Lower falls if I was feeling ready.

Rivers of Chile: Río Puesco Tumbling off the flanks of the magnificent 3717 meter Volcan Lanin are the headwaters of Pucon's Trancura River.

SeaKayakPhoto.com: Traditional Meets New School By The Carrick Skerries. One of the great pleasures of meeting people on the water is exchanging ideas about kit and technique. Four of the paddlers on the water had taken their first strokes in skin on frame kayaks. Dave from the Garnock club may now use a composite hull but he still prefers Inuit paddle, a rudder, a woolly jumper knitted by his gran and a buoyancy aid of uncertain manufacture (though I could just make out "SS Tita...." on the back).

Inflatable Kayak Blog: Sea Eagle FoldCat Sale The Sea Eagle FoldCat inflatable pontoon is an excellent choice for fishermen who have limited carry space but need a larger craft for fishing. We've heard from folks who tow a 5th wheel and can't tow a boat behind, some who have limited truck bed space and others who simply didn't want to carry a boat over their cab or car top. They all find that the FoldCat fits their needs perfectly.
