News Watch Headlines Mr. B'S Barbequed Shrimp YakAngler - Last week we were in New Orleans on a business trip & ate at Mr. B's in downtown NOLA. We had their barbeque shrimp as an appetizer & it was great. I kept thinking that I had seen something about that dish before. A few days later, after we returned home, I was browsing through the 2013 In-Fisherman Magazine Pike & Musky Special. Kayaking to Jorge Montt Glacier and uncharted Patagonian islands Funhog Blob - The Jorge' Montt Glacier is an extension of the Southern Patagonian Icefield, and like many glaciers on the planet, this one is in recession. We paddled deep into a curved bay littered with sculpted floating ice, encouraged onward by the promise of sighting the icefield.

Demshitz on West Virginia'S Cranberry Creek unsponsored - This is basically a new run that was recently found, cleaned out and paddled by Shane Groves and John Moore. There are mainly slides on this run with one tricky little 8 footer. It gave myself and Josh a little trouble. Manca Notar SUP Magazine - At 17 years old, Manca Notar has become a strong contender in the Women's Standup World Series, placing atop the podium alongside names like Annabel Anderson and Angie Jackson. The beautiful young Slovenian has sweet smile but Manca is as focused as any European paddler on the world stage today. SUP Pilates with Flow Physio & Pilates red paddle co - Paddleboarding is an all round excellent form of physical activity and can offer real benefits getting back to fitness following an injury, or even just keeping fit and healthy. An hour in the gym with the physio vs an hour doing some paddleboarding sort of obvious which one to go for Navigation? Yes Log of Ibi - A couple years ago I was reminded yet again of the old joke about naval navigation. A young midshipman was feeling the weight of his first stint as navigator. He was hovering over the chart table under the watchful eyes of the skipper when the admiral walked onto the bridge. One Person Is The Difference SUP Radio Show - It's hopeless, our problems are too big. Anything I do is like dropping a pebble into the Ocean. Government controls everything in the World, what chance do I have of changing anything? Africa boosted by new boats ICF - The Confederation of African Canoeing (CAC), International Canoe Federation (ICF) and NELO KAYAKS in Portugal have announced the commencement of the new Domestic Boat Production Project in Africa.

As important it is to learn from their examples, those of us learning must also pause to give recognition to these influential people.

A Canoeists view on the status of Sprint Canoe in Great Britain Sportscene - I started sprint canoeing at Fladbury Canoe Club in 2005, at the time, a bustling hub for High Kneeling canoeists. Looking back on those days I spent there I can see why: not only did they have Olympians Andrew and Steve Train dedicated to coaching, they also had canoe equipment and a calm stretch of river to train on. Brunton All Day unsponsored - Brunton are probably best known for their innovative battery charging technology but have now brought out some GoPro related kit. Brunton have brought out the All Day for GoPro Hero 3/3+ use. It fits the Hero 3 housing and replaces the full back door. Brazil Jordan Searle - It really is hard to describe how amazing this place is. The culture, the environment, the architecture and pretty much everything.
