News Watch Headlines Huffington Psst: Kayaking is the only real sport :) Misc. - Despite longstanding consensus that a number of non-kayaking activities qualified as sports, athletic experts now tell us that this notion is false. "At first glance it seems like there are a lot of sports," said former NFL head coach Bill Clancy, "but when you look closer, everything is either not a sport or kayaking." Canadian Team Trials/ Nationals/ Pre-Worlds Jackson Kayak - This past weekend we just competed in the Canada Cup event on the Garburator Wave located on the Ottawa River. This was the Pre-Worlds event (host location for next years 2015 World Championships) as well as the National Team selection for Canada. 2014 NEKF Striper Shootout Jackson Kayak - A couple of weekends ago I fished the NEKF Striper Shootout X with my son Ryley. At 13 this is the third year in a row he has fished the tournament with me and we were looking forward to yet another fun filled weekend out on the water as well as hanging around the campground at Winter Island Park. Funky Floras Christina Russell - This is a really old post. I meant to post this ages ago but I have started school, gone rafting with family, worked full time with nursing and solved world peace. What can I say? I've been busy. Historical Paddle Art Robert Griffing'S 'The Paddle Painter' Paddle Making - Artist Robert Griffing is well known for his historical art depicting Eastern Woodland peoples and the 18th Century Eastern frontier. Many of his paintings feature bark canoes and decorated paddles. From Squirt Boat Selections to Silver in Slovakia SquareRock - Well I can safely say that the 2014 European Freestyle Kayak Championship in Slovakia was amazing. Not just due to the outcome of the competition (but which does obviously play a large part) but also because of the site, the Danube, the training and the paddlers who took part. Fitting a Flat Earth sail with double back stays to a PandH Aries155 SeaKayakPhoto.com - I have previously posted about fitting a Flat Earth sailing rig to a P&H Aries 155 but on taking delivery of a new Aries with forward fin I decided to use a slightly different method which I have outlined here. We have been increasingly paddle sailing in stronger winds often going on down wind shuttle runs. Happy Wednesday, Enjoy a Healthy Paleo Recipe NEXT - Place all ingredients in a mason jar with lid and shake vigorously. Adjust flavors to taste. Tamari will make it saltier, stevia will make it sweeter. Let sit for an hour in the fridge or overnight. The ground flax will naturally thicken the dressing so it is not so watery. 2014 Duke's OceanFest Distance Race SUP Surf - Here are some photos from the 2014 Duke's OceanFest distance race. The race is officially titled the Hawaii Paddleboard Championships but it's easier to call it the Duke's race. This year had pretty good wind but a hard opposing tide. Big-Wave Trials Canada Cup Teases Freestyle Worlds' 2015 Return to a Big Ottawa River Wave Canoe Kayak - Dane Jackson competing at the 2014 Canadian Team Trials/Canada Cup/Pre-Worlds on Garberator Wave on the Ottawa River at Beachburg ON Canada on August 31, 2014. The Trip Ends in Garden Cove Tony Paradise - We were in Back Cove on Woody Island on our return to civilization where not a stone was in sight because they were all picked up and cemented into the construction of this house by Randy Lieb. Kayakfishing.Com Fall Classic–Coming Soon Kayak Angler Magazine - What To Fish For-Lingcod, cabezon and all the legal rockfish species. Cowcod, canary and yelloweye rockfish are no take. All edible finfish, not limited to monkey faced eels, flatfish, salmon and perches, are contenders.
