Playak News Flash - October 25, 2012
The world's latest paddling headlines.

News Watch Headlines The Fall Road Trip Five 2 Nine Productions - While I count myself lucky to spend so much time on the water, when I'm filming, the kayaking experience is different than that of a leisure trip. After a year in which I got to work on a lot of great projects, it was time to leave the camera home, head out and enjoy some rivers. Dillon Falls to Meadow Camp Nathan Pfeifer - Rarely do I find myself boating on the east side of the Cascades in Oregon. This is mainly due to a limited river selection, and frankly, with all the classic runs on the west side, it's hard to find the motivation to head over there. World Class Play Boating in Scotland Nick Bennett - Scotland is normally known for its steep creeks, haggis and highland cows, not for its play boating potential. However last week I was fortunate enough to get up to Oban and get out the short boat. Essential kayak festival CackleTV - Swell, sunshine & smiling faces helped make the first Essential Sea Kayak Festival a great success over the last 3 days. I was very happy to be involved, both on the water & by giving a talk one evening. Gopro Hero 2 Vs Gopro Hero 3 unsponsored - Aside from the smaller and lighter aspects of the change there are a number of other things that need to be considered particulary if you are upgrading from the 1 or 2 to the 3. The GoPro Hero 3 doesn't come with a whole load of accessories. Discussion with Iballa Moreno Starboard - Thanks to StandUpLatino.com for printing and to Starboard's Iballa Moreno for speaking out on this often 'pushed under the carpet' and controversial subject between the differences in prize money allotted for men vs. women in SUP, Surfing and Windsurfing. The Students Are Our Future Palm Blogs - Indeed they may be a notorious as soap dodging, daytime television watching scroungers, but student canoe clubs make up perhaps the most active and adventurous paddling community in the UK. Paddle for Privates SUP Connect - Paddle for Privates is a costume paddle parade (not a race) and beach party with a mission to raise money and awareness for private part cancers. My Third and Final Dinghy Race of 2012 Frogma - I first thought about sailing while having to row a rubber raft back to shore from the middle of Lake Tahoe against a stiff wind and chop. Around me, sailboats were making it home without paddling a stroke. Point Bennett Project Just Yakkin - With the deck stripped out in the rough, the next step is cutting out the holes for the hatches and making the recesses. But first I had to liberate the hatch comings from the remains of the last deck. Sea Change and Spreading the Love Angling Addict - The window-down kind of days have slowly brought on the wader-up type of outings. Like a banner of farewell, the bold colors of the trees bid bon voyage to the mass exodus that brings about a sea change to the Chesapeake Bay fishery.
