Shane's Logic: The Liquidlogic Weekend Tour: Biscuits, Playboat Creeking, and Raft Carnage What an awesome weekend! A big group of us headed over to the Ocoee to get our playboatin' on. It was Adriene, Maria, Juliette,Yonton, John Grace, Will Lyons, and a couple random Brits that we picked up on the side of the road. Everyone was jacked up to get out in the Biscuits and everyone came away psyched.

Rafa Ortiz: Kayaking with wonderful feelings Time freezes for an instant as I find myself surrounded by drops falling with me. It all becomes so peaceful as you go down.

Roaring Fork Kayakers: Barrel: At the hardest level Well the past two days Barrel has been at the hardest level you can run it at in my opinion. From 5,500 to at least 6,000 cfs, it is not only huge waves, but huge breaking waves that have no problem pushing you around.

Nookie: Team Nookie in Corsica It was a place far away of streets, in the middle of nature, with the greatest slide of the hole island. Now everything was removed by huge trucks and other machines, several road ends and the slide is destroyed.

Atlantic Kayaker: Nova Scotia: Three rivers As with the Folly this run has only started to be run recently and doesn't get done that often because of slightly difficult access and a long paddle out.

Team Pyranha: toro's Top 10 Vol. 1 It was called toro's TOP 10, and is about tips, tricks, and stories from my paddling life, from absolutely serious, to totally not.

Jackson Kayak: New River Academy spring quarter update High water on the Ottawa is a beautiful thing. The icy flows peak to produce some large waves, and lots and lots of airtime.

Palm Blogs: Salachan and WigWam The Salachan Burn and the WigWam Burn are two Scottish Creeks which you might not have paddled, but really should.Both are grade 4/5, but there's nothing too stressful if the flow is sensible.

wavesport.de: Tyler's Corsica wrap-up After spending 10 days in a row of paddling our brains out we decided that our mind, body, and soul could use a good rest day to energize for the last 5 days of whitewater.

Jackson Kayak Recreational: Great feedback from Loveland OH It's so nice to have our retailers and outfitters behind our business and willing to send in notes like this.

PeakUK: GB Slalom team selection First to be decided was the men's kayak class in which Peak Team athlete Huw P Swetnam had promoted himself to hot favourite by winning both races in Grandtully.
