News Watch Headlines Wrsi Moment Helmet SquareRock - So last weekend I got the chance to try out the WRSI Moment helmet which is their first all-out full face creeking helmet. The helmet has the same construction of the popular helmet from WRSI Current but has an added permanent rigid facebar to protect your face, which will come in handy over the next year as I will hopefully be spending a lot of time creeking and want to keep my looks. A Week with Small World Adventures in Ecuador Rivers & Creeks - Over the past two decades I have done a fair number of river trips around the world, many of them involving complicated logistics. Review Dagger Nomad Rogue Kayakers - After paddling a large fluid solo for 3+ years I finally cracked it on the pit river in October, I was able to weld it and keep it going. I knew I needed a new boat for this spring so I started shopping around, It was between another solo, bazooka, recon 83 or a nomad 8.5. Shortboard Demo Day1 Corran SUP - Tim Ryan took it on himself to organize a SUP shortboard demo day. For me, literally just getting of the plane from Africa where it was over 90F, I had little intention of putting my toes in the chilly water ,so instead I played beach bunny, taking photos, answering questions about the various boards and helping people out. Snow Filled Creeking Adventures of Burgess - Two days had past and the cold returned to Northern reaches of Minnesota. My breath rose in a ethereal cloud in the morning grey, as I lashed my boat into the bed of my trusty pickup. Stepping from my truck the frozen ground crunched loudly in the morning stillness as I walked towards the St. Louis River. Unsponsored 2013 Q&A Series & ;Ndash unsponsored - Diego Robles is a young kayaker who is pushing and developing the sport in the emerging Ecuadorian paddling scene.

You will be seeing them sharing stories and photos on our blog and Facebook and more importantly at events in your home town. 2011 Spring Marks Record Water & Whitewater Adam AJ Johnson - Spring 2011 will undoubtedly be remembered as one of those springs you always want to repeat. From running Real Manns Creek on January 2nd, to surfing the New River Dries at optimal flows on a weekend in the middle of March, to doing double doubles on Red Run and the North Fork of the Blackwater in the middle of June–the action just never stopped. Benediction and Supplication on The Little Cumbrae SeaKayakPhoto.com - Low tide had revealed a short undamaged section of the old slipway under the Little Cumbrae lighthouses. I was extremely grateful for the help I was given in getting my kayak to the water and in getting me into it!

Support Strokes Paddlemag - This weekend the Rottnest Channel Swim takes place, and early next month an even longer open water swim is happening in Victoria. Yes, we agree, there's something wrong with those people who'd rather swim across great big open stretches of water like that instead of paddling them.
