Sit back and enjoy this great album from a great and challenging days racing. WS4 Wave Slider SUP Magazine - Sea Eagle Boats, Inc. is thrilled to announce the release of the Wave Slider 4′ body board to it's line-up of inflatable SUPs, kayaks and boats. Made entirely of drop stitch, 1000 denier reinforced PVC material and inflating up to 10psi, the WS4 is perfect for riding the big waves. It is a full 4′ long, 28" wide and 3" thick and takes less than 30 seconds to inflate with the included hand pump! A Lonely Paradise SUP Magazine - Passion, while sometimes tough to harness, or control when it overwhelms us, is something we all need, whether we acknowledge it or not. It doesn't matter if it's shooting marbles, if holding a cat's eye between your fingers tweaks the pulse, than that's it. That's what we're after. Pueblo'S 3rd Wave At 1050 Cfs SUP for the Soul - Due to the recent spring storms, Pueblo Reservoir has been releasing extra water. Lucky for us, this means the waves at the whitewater park turn to gold. For this time of year (before the spring melt really starts), the waves in Pueblo are the best in the state. Recently Scott Powers and I made a trip down to catch a few waves. Travis Grant – Annabel Anderson Win 2015 Carolina Cup Elite Race SUP Examiner - Australian Travis Grant won the elite, 13.2 mile (21.2 km) Graveyard race at the 2015 Carolina Cup after battling last year's champion Danny Ching and Connor Baxter for much of the race. supPocket: Easy Way to Sup with Stuff! Distressed Mullet - It is no secret that I love my supPocket. If you saw my garage, you would think that I love all the things, and that is not the case. I would dearly love it if my friend *cough* KIM *cough* would come help me clean it out someday because the percentage of stuff I use versus the percentage of stuff I have are vastly different. I probably use 3% of the crap around my house but my supPocket is definitely one of those things I use. Sup World Trip Part 1 Yap, Micronesia SUP Crossing - After our first trip with inflatables in Europe with a rail pass. We wanted to take it one step further and explore far away places in the world. This time we bought a round the world ticket with stopovers at all the continents. The gear we bring on Sup World Trip SUP Crossing - On this Sup World Trip, Franz and I keep it very simple and bring as little gear as we can. Spring's Fits and Starts Trash Paddler - Yesterday's afternoon paddle on the Charles River wrapped up a week which included visits to the Sudbury and Nashua rivers sandwiched around a terrestrial Earth Day patrol with Mrs. Trashpaddler. The theme of the week was a cold and relentless wind out of the north and west with early morning sunshine that rapidly dwindled each afternoon.  Hooked on Wild Waters Episode 2: Wild Florida Everglades Jackson Kayak - Monday, April 27th, on hookedonwildwaters.com, will be the latest adventure that my guest and my dog Lu and I take on Hooked on Wild Waters. In this episode, Jackson Kayak team member Alex Tejada and I take off to pursue snook in the back country of the largest, widest and slowest moving river in the US – the Florida Everglades. Instant karma and a new hip Tony Paradise - Dean bought a new Jackson Karma RG.  After taking delivery of it earlier this week, today it was time to take her out for a test run.  Hazen got the all clear earlier this month to resume normal daily activities after undergoing a hip replacement in February.  He joined us for his first paddle since the operation. It was raining and foggy as we put in. Fluid Bazooka – Review unsponsored - The Bazooka is one of the smaller white water boats on the market coming in a just over 2 and a half metres but has shed loads of volume. It's a boat designed for steep technical rivers but will still look after you on bigger rivers. The Jackson Coosa Now in Hd Jackson Kayak - I have been a huge fan of the Jackson Coosa since its debut almost 5 years ago. Though I perceived the Coosa as the prefect river fishing kayak, there's always room for improvement. The new Coosa HD is everything you love about the Coosa, and then some. Post 19 – An Rg and Hammer Day Newfoundland Kayakoholic - Neville missed our paddle yesterday (see previous post). He e-mailed a few of us Saturday evening to see if anyone wanted to paddle on Sunday. I had replied that I was interested but he had missed my response. GoPro Tether unsponsored - Losing a GoPro because the sticky mount has failed in not a nice experience. I have been there. Using a leash or tethering system has become a key part of using a GoPro, especially when attached to a kayak, paddle or helmet. Since the release of the Blackout housing and GoPro Hero 4 the usual place to add a leash to tether the camera has gone.
