In The Short ~ Paddling Through Parenthood Emily’S Calendar

Playak News Flash - February 4, 2014
The world's latest paddling headlines.
YakAngler In The Short
YakAngler - It's still too cold to launch in or around St. Louis right now because of frozen waters and below 0 wind chills. I haven't even been able to wet a line for lack of a hole in the ice. Problem is, ice is too thick to get through, but too thin to walk on and drill through here.
Jackson Kayak Paddling Through Parenthood Emily'S Calendar
Jackson Kayak - Many people my age see parenthood like a bird sees its wings getting clipped. They assume that it means less time for the things they love and more time sitting around loving the little one. I fall in love more with Tucker each day I am with him, and so far that has been every day of his life.
Zet Kayaks UK Home Fun and Games
Zet Kayaks UK - So it has been quite a while since I have put anything up and the last few months have been a bit of a blur since leaving Norway, getting home and working like mad through the christmas period but just as it looked like we where not going to get any rain till the new year the rain came and here are a few highlights from being back on the local runs again.
Fluid Blog Mexico - A refreshing, low stress break.
Fluid Blog - There is nothing better than a month of kayaking where all you have to think about is with whom and where you want to paddle to refuel and refresh. Now that I am back to the teaching and research grind, I realize how important my kayaking breaks are ...
Tony Paradise A Study of Contrast Black Rocks, White Ice
Tony Paradise - Finally, after a two week, weather enforced hiatus, we were back on the water. Clyde, Dean, Hazen, Neville and I met on a day of calm weather but cool.
SUP Surf Riding the S.I.C. Recon-10 SUP Board in Waikiki
SUP Surf - After riding the recon for a number of sessions on different conditions I realize that this board is really good for any rider over 200 pounds that wants a board that can turn on a dime. Here's a quick video of me and my brother Darin taking turns riding the S.I.C. Recon-10 SUP surfing board in Waikiki. And here's another video with me surfing the S.I.C. Recon-10 on some small waves...
SUP International Downwinder Tuitorial from Beau O'Brian

Palm Blogs GB Women's Raft Team do the rest of New Zealand
Palm Blogs - Who would ever want to leave New Zealand? We didn't. So most of us (plus the Italian boys) travelled to Murchison and the West Coast on South Island for a few more weeks of world class kayaking.
Funhog Blob Pack Raft cruising in Patagonia
Funhog Blob - Our flight south from Puerto Varas to Balmaceda, Chile, was smooth until we descended into the lower atmosphere, and the Patagonian wind. Even after landing, the 737 jostled from side to side from powerful gusts, forcing passengers to grab the tops of seats lest they topple like toy soldiers in the aisle.
unsponsored Mexico Part II
unsponsored - Veracruz, Mexico is such a special place. Rio Alseseca is one of the best rivers in the world. There's really no way to describe it other than to see it for yourself. There are so many world class sections of whitewater ...
Chris Wing Our First Year in Chile
Chris Wing - Yesterday we concluded our first ever season of adventure travel trips when we said our goodbyes to our intermediate group of paddlers.
Funhog Blob The Heart of Patagonia
Funhog Blob - It is a nine-hour bus ride from Coyhaique to the frontier town of Cochrane, and the heart of Patagonia. The first 90 minutes of that journey are on a lonely paved highway, the remaining 7 and a half hours are a rattle across washboard gravel, through forested mountains, past azure blue lakes, beneath plunging waterfalls, and along thunderous rapids.
red paddle co R.a.W Episode 4
red paddle co - Welcome to Happyland, says Tim Emmett, fully tongue-in-cheek to kick things off in this last episode of RockAir Water. After a very close call (with big dents in his helmet to prove it) after jumping off the top of the Vampire Spires, Emmett and crew get ready for the last push of this adventurous troika, a climb up one of the world's great multi-pitches, known the world over in climbing circles as the Lotus Flower Tower.
Jackson Kayak Jackson Kayak Big Rig First Paddle
Jackson Kayak - The Big Rig has been the most anticipated kayak of 2014 for myself as well as many others, but as with all new to the market kayaks there are allot of questions that can't be answered until it is on the water. One of these questions was the overall size of the kayak.
Kayak Yak Kayak Painter
Kayak Yak - This is more than a terrific armchair kayaking read. It's also an art book showcasing many paintings and other artworks by Marshall. This artist has paddled all along the BC coast and the Alaskan panhandle, and designed his own kayaks.
