More Awesome Reviews and Billy Goes to Chile CORE Paddles - I have been swamped with production set up over the last month and have not had as much time to post as I would like. Trying to get caught up now...

In Review: The Project X 48 Wavesport Blogs - I have been paddling a Wave Sport Project 45 since 2007, and never thought I would make the switch to any other boat; I love my Project 45! However, from the first time I took a seat in my Project X, I now have a new favorite playboat. Let me tell you why…

The Rapids - Galway City - Ireland Team I-Canoe - Anyone who has had the pleasure of my company, while enjoy a few brews, over the years has heard me rant about "The Rapids" on the Corrib in Galway.

Canada: Gun registry, bad. Kayak registry, good? Misc. - Hypocrisy, thy name is the Harper Party. The Transport Canada regulations, brought in last fall, will require everyone from professional outfitters to people leading recreational boat trips to fill out five separate forms, measure their boat and pay a $50 fee. Wow. If the long gun registry is rarely used, a waste of money, and an infringement on our "rights" to do whatever we want; what would that make the Vessel Registration Office and the Pleasure Craft Licensing system?

Rachel Bovill: HPP & Slenningford Mill Desperate Measures - I was looking forward to the weekend of the 4th and 5th February, the first GB freestyle team coaching weekend at Hurley with Jacko, then an email came in from Dave Newport -weekend cancelled due to river bank works.

The Cumberland Ring Will Herman - Starting with a descent of the Eden, from source to sea, a rather unusual circumnavigation is underway this week.

A Coosa February Jackson Kayak - Join us on a recent February river fishing adventure with our JK Coosas!

Enter Romany Productions Ireland circumnavigation 2011 - I had an email from Vaughan a couple of days ago, to say that he had put together a piece of video, did I want to see it?

I'll be at Black Creek Outfitters Saturday at 2pm for Coosa demos! Jackson Kayak - Well, I must say I am enjoying the weather here in Florida and getting the Coosa onto some different water types and new species for me.  On my way back up to Charlotte I am making a stop into Black Creek Outfitters in Jacksonville, one of our newest Jackson dealers, to do some demos and share about the Coosa with anyone who wants to stop on by.  I'll also be interested in fishing that morning in Jacksonville if anyone is interested.  After the demos I'll still be around to grab dinner with anyone who wants to join me or knows of any real good "local" hot spots!

We can surf homemade kayaks - Waves made todays outing a bit more exciting than usual...
