News Watch Amundson Tr-29 SUP Magazine - For 2015 we have succeeded in making an already great board even better. I am most proud of our collaboration and development of our new nose design. While still utilizing the split displacement nose, the new 12'6'' TR has a fuller rail and flatter bottom in the front third of the board. How to Avoid an Ice Dam Breakup Canoe Kayak - What can paddlers do to avoid this kind of situation, and what can they do if caught? The Major 5 SUP Races of World SUPracer - There is no set criteria for becoming a major SUP race, it's more of a general impression based on everything from prestige, level of competition, prize money, grassroots support, quality of the event, quality of the organisers, contribution to the sport, regional significance and so on. These are the five races I believe will be the most significant events of 2015. None of these require any introduction… Jackson Kayak Coosa HD First Look Jackson Kayak - Jackson Kayak introduced the Prototype of a new Drew Gregory Signature kayak the Coosa HD, at the 2014 Outdoor Retailer Show. When I first saw the press release I became very interested. Living in TN I have access to many beautiful rivers to fish, but living on Chickamauga Lake, I am primarily a lake fisherman with roughly 30% of my time spent on the River. An Ode to Aldo Drew Gregory - Aldo is what he went by in the various online kayak and river fishing websites he was a member of; its what I called him and how I knew him. However, the beauty of kayak fishing is that you don't just interact online but you meet up in person as well to share water together and even camp or share meals too. Deadly Dozen Kayak Feel Bait Bass Fishing Tips Jackson Kayak - The majority of the BIG bass I have caught come from a category of lure I characterize as feel baits. Decades of chasing bass have taught me these lessons, sometimes by error sometimes by sticking my thumb in the lower jaw of a monster bass. Spirit of Antarctica Expedition Mark Tozer - Join Helen and Mark of Greenland or Bust onboard the Spirit of Sydney in Ushuaia, Argentina for a voyage of a lifetime to the Antarctic Peninsula that will include sailing, sea kayaking, mountaineering, visiting historical sites, camping, and nature watching. If your nor a responder, don't adopt an intense training schdule Riding Bumps - The training schedule that works best for you may not be the one followed by professionals, since most amateurs are not respondents, and cannot train too intensely. So just be careful before you copy the training regimen of a professional paddler, best analyse the training schedule which best works or you… train in an effective way that does not drain you Catalonian stakeout Kokatat Blog - The region I live in Catalonia has only seen kayaking for the last let's say 15 years, and there are still many rivers to be explored and ran for first time. Drainage Ditch Kayaking unsponsored - Rush Sturges and Ben Marr lose control while kayaking down a drainage ditch in Lions Bay, British Columbia. Join the crew for a high paced 800+ meter descent reaching a top speed of 72 km/hr (45mph). Columbus Whitewater Park Kokatat Blog - Back in 2012 we visited Columbus, GA. We heard they were in the process of making a wave shaper that was supposed to produce a really awesome wave on the Chattahoochee River. First Swell of 2015 on Lake Superior Boarders Magazine - Weather forecasters in Minnesota were warning of an "Arctic front" arriving on January 2, 2015. For most people in the state, this meant getting all out-door chores done before the five-day cold front would arrive, but for Lake Superior surfers it meant check the wind and wave forecasts. East Africa Kayaking unsponsored - This is a video showing the adventures of a group of kayakers exploring the rivers of Central and Western Kenya. Journey to The Stikine and The Sacred Headwaters unsponsored - Part two of the Journey to the Stikine and the Sacred Headwaters tells the story of the team's decision to run the notorious Site Zed rapid. Site Zed has only been run a handful of times since the first descent by Ben Marr in 2012. T-Bone Bed Extender by Boonedox YakAngler - Recently I decided it was time for another bed extender. I have known about the T-Bone Bed Extender by BooneDox for awhile now. However, in the past I was hesitant to dish out the $189 for a bed extender that I could purchase for $75 at Harbor Freight.
