News Watch Headlines Pioneer of Sea Kayaking, Carrie Stevenson Simon Willis - One of the great joys of running SeaKayakPodcasts.com is the amazing people I get to talk to. Not so long ago I headed to a retirement home on Scotland's west coast to record a chat with one of the pioneers of sea kayaking, Carrie Stevenson. Hik ing A whole bunch of Ing's - Although the weather would beg to differ; spring is very close. I usually don't gauge spring on an arbitrary day. However having ordered my vegetable seeds yesterday before heading into the bush it can't be too far away now. The Golden Isles Boondoggle YakAngler - The dates for the 2014 Presidents Day Boondoggle included Valentine's Day, so many anglers had to convince wives, significant others, and girlfriends to allow them to head to the Crooked River Boondoggle in Georgia's Golden Isles. Stand Up Paddleboard Safety Inflatable Kayak Blog - Safety should be a priority when participating in any water sport. Water in natural conditions can often be more dangerous than you might think. In the second of the series of "how to stand up paddleboard" videos produced by Sea Eagle, instructor Larry Froley of Gray Whale Paddle talks about and demonstrates the safety techniques you need to be aware of when using an SUP. State Farm's Fisherman vs. The Gorton's Fisherman Rapid Media - This match-up was a long time coming. The Gorton's fisherman is a man with an epic backstory, while State Farm's fisherman's backstory remains an enigma. These fisherman are selling products, sure, but deep down, we're sure they'd care more about wetting a line than anything else. Manly paddlers dominate opening day ICF - Manly Olympians Naomi Flood and Murray Stewart have dominated the opening day of the 2014 canoe sprint Oceania Championships at Sydney International Regatta Centre. Rescued from Patagonian seas! Funhog Blob - There was hardly a wisp of wind as we stroked through a small glassy swell. The channel, that huge intimidating monster, was now a pretty stretch of open water beneath sun dappled mountains. The Granitarium British Isles, Kitesurfing, Cold Dom Moore - Earlier this winter technically late last Autumn but winter started early for me. I went to Scotland with just Reb and a car full of kites and boards for company. As well as obtaining photos I wanted to figure out how to use the video function on my humble little Canon 600D aka the best £400 I have ever spent. Oceania Championships Preview ICF - The 2014 Canoe Sprint Oceania Championships will be held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre from 28 February to 2 March.
