News Watch Meet The Jk Lady Creekers Jackson Kayak - Being a playboat oriented paddler myself I am always fascinated by what the top women paddlers are doing in the creeking realm and how they approach paddling difficult creeks. Pau Hana Debuts Big Ez Angler Fishing Sup Pau Hana - Pau Hana recently visited the Florida Keys to try out the new Big EZ Angler Fishing SUP. The Big EZ Angler is derived from the classic Pau Hana Big EZ stand up paddle board, and it is shaped to provide fisherman the balance and stability they need to reel in even the biggest catch. Into the Heart of Borneo thebigbluetree.com - To finish up the summer I headed out to Borneo for 8 weeks as part of Kayak Borneo. Before landing in Kota Kinabalu I had no idea what to expect, but what followed was two months of great food, minor mishaps and adventure. Green Race Karma Unlimited Review Jackson Kayak - As many of you know, the Karma Unlimited is Jackson Kayak's newest whitewater design, and now definitely one of my favorite. High Adventure in British Columbia AIRE - Before I get to the meat of this report, let me get one thing out of the way; I wasn't entirely sold on the idea of Dipper Creek. By not entirely sold" I mean, I didn't want to go. I didn't think it would be worth it. The S.I.C. Malana Outrigger Canoe SUP Surf - The Malana is a fast and lightweight three or four man outrigger paddling canoe built by S.I.C. in Maui, Hawaii. Its intended use is for downwind runs in open-ocean, distance along shoreline or simple recreational fun paddling. It has a high freeboard and will hold 4- 190 lbs. Why You Need A Sup Leash: This Will Save Your Life Standup Journal - As Paddlers, you should know the right leases for you, for ex, in whitewater conditions you require a breakaway leash so that you can escape if your trapped in branches along with your board. Other leashes common are the flat and curly ones, while the former drags while paddling, the later does not. Coiled ones are best for flatwater, while flat ones are better for surf. The purpose of a lease is to have your board tied to you, so when you fall down or get tired while paddling, you don't lose your SUP board. Its vital!! Three-Day Grand Canyon Kayak Trip Funhog Blob - I've never been one for speed runs. Scout the rapids, linger in camp, go for a hike, enjoy the view; this is my approach to river running—keep the stress low and the pleasure factor high. Despite this philosophy, I'm plenty impressed whenever I hear of non-stop descents that schush down whitewater rivers in record time. Murchison Falls This Is Africa Martina Wegman - Murchison Falls is a well renowned place in the kayaking world. Committing, full on and in the outback of Uganda's Africa. The Murchison section on the Nile has the largest concentration of Hippopotamus and crocodiles on the planet, plus some other epic wildlife such as elephants, lions, hyenas, snakes and buffalo's. Review Pyranha Burn Iii Desperate Measures - The Burn three has been long in the pipe line after the successful Burn two and the guys at Pyranha were extremely keen to make a similar jump in performance to the last upgrade. Susquehanna River's Holtwood white water park is finally a reality. Werner - Thanks to Starrk Moon Kayaks sponsored athlete, Matt Samms, for this great article.  Matt is a long time Werner Paddles supporter and we grealy appreciate it. "So after 9 years of ups and downs it is here, The Holtwood Whitewater Park ! Bobby Miller Finally Races The Green! Exploring Elements - Every year in early November, the infamous Green River Narrows Race (aka The Greatest Show in All of Sports) takes place, challenging the skills of the many paddlers that compete. The Green is a fantastic Class 5 run in itself and presents one of the (if not THE) most challenging race courses currently being used. GoPro Floats unsponsored - Having around £300 worth of GoPro camera sink to the bottom of the river is not a pleasant experience. I have been there and it is not nice. I now have a GoPro float on all of my cameras. Top 10 Stand Up Paddling Questions and Answers Standup Journal - Part of the appeal of stand up paddling is that it is a relatively easy activity to learn for people of any age or fitness level. If you can stand up on land, you will be able to stand up paddle. Variables like wind, chop and the width of your board will contribute to challenges that can make your sup session more difficult. Because of its versatility, sup is a sport that will continue to grow with your skill level. Wake Surf Kayaking The Tennessee River in The Rock Star Jackson Kayak - How is it possible that I'm surfing a never-ending wave on the Tennessee River with the Dupont bridge and Chickamauga Dam in the background.
