Playak News Flash - May 8, 2017

Rivergator Dispatch- Our Storm-Camp Homes
Canoe Kayak - What will the river give us? That’s the question these days. Howling winds and white-capped waves? Water still as glass? Some days our trip is easy and other days it has steep demands.

Helicopter Kayaking
Jackson Kayak - My favorite part of my husband and my honeymoon trip to New Zealand was the helicopter kayaking. Well, that and the pie shops! New Zealand is a beautiful country full of dense wilderness.

Champs Emerge at 2nd Annual SUP Polo Tournament
SUP Connect - While SUP Polo has been around for several years, since being first introduced by Starboard in 2015, it has remained a niche activity, usually offered as a fun addition to regular race events. However, in the UK, there is a growing number of SUP Polo enthusiasts and on the 23rd April, the second annual SUP Polo competition was organised by the Blue Chip Sup Club at the Guildford Lido, in the UK.

Northrite Pants From Merrell Provide Great Post Paddle Warmth
SUP Examiner - Getting warm and dry after a paddle in cold water is essential. We can’t all live in Tahiti and many paddlers outside of the tropics get geared up before and after a paddle to an extent that it makes the sport resemble a different activity when compared to the lucky few out in the South Pacific. For those where needing to pull on a warm pair of pants after paddling is a necessity, I recommend taking a solid look at the Northrite Pants from Merrell.
