Markus Leppaenen: First decent Isar Flood in Munich 2009 First wave is too flat for a playboat. The second wave is catchable from the eddy and turns into a wave-hole. The further surfers right you go the meatier it gets.

River Gypsies: RiverGypsies summer 2009 trip report #1 We arrived at the creek and camped for the night, walking up to check out the rapids and the level the next day. Although the creek was on the high side, it was looking really good and we were looking forward to a run.

Dash Point Pirate: Snapshots from Peru: Playa Los Viejos I didn't see anywhere to land along the western shore. The surf would make landing and launching difficult. Even if you could find a pocket beach it would be too small to camp on, and because of the huge surrounding cliffs climbing out would be impossible.

PaddleBlogs: Watertech Bandit The Bandit is here and doesn't matter if you are high or short, heavy or light this is the machine for you.

AS Watersports: Team AS goes to the beach The hot weather has killed of any hope of whitewater or playboating, and the surf has been pretty much non existent as well. But a rare pulse of southerly swell popped up on the charts this week, meaning that an after work surf was easily achievable.

Bottoms Up Kayaking: Dave Nieuwenhuis: Not just a farmer Dave had been planing on building his own boat for years, and while in Sudbury (Dave's new home town) he got that chance. He will admit, it was a hard, long and expensive task but the final product speaks for it self.

ERA Kids Blog: Kids rule: 2009 Kayak Camp begins This year brought veteran kids camp participants Maddy, Molly, Harrison, and special young instructor Erin, siblings of former kids camp participants and a new group of recruits to introduce to kayaking!
