Nathan Pfeifer First Impressions - Bliss-Stick Tuna
Nathan Pfeifer (Thursday 17th) *** - Before getting into my review of Bliss-Stick’s newest creekboat, the Tuna, let me first give you a little background about myself.

Werner Demshitz
Werner (Sunday 13th) *** - The Spartans were without a doubt a stout society of warriors but amongst them all there was all a leader, the stoutest if you will. Demshitz Nation certainly has drawn some amazing paddlers throwing a "Brown Claw" but in the end Jared and Dave like to make sure they remind you who started it all...who is the "Brownest" if you will.

Wavesport Blogs How To: Strengthen your Core and Improve your Paddling
Wavesport Blogs (Thursday 17th) * - Your "core" encompasses your abdominal and back muscles, specifically the rectus abdominus, obliques, lower back, and the glutes. It is important to strengthen the core muscles, because these muscles provide stability to both the upper and lower body in all activities: walking,...
worldkayak blogs West Virginia surprise…
worldkayak blogs (Wednesday 16th) * - So after the T’ville Triple crown my plan was to drop Emily off in DC, pick up Dane and head to California.

A not so quick little 11 hour drive brought us from Terriffville, New Enlgand to Fayettville, West Virginia.

CKS Blog (Saturday 12th) * - Sure there are a lot of great paddlers out there pushing the limits in huge water and cascading off of falls. But what are they paddling and why? Sure I know the boat engages gravity just fine when it breaches the horizon line of Metlako Falls, a barrel can do that does just as well, but how much gear can I pack in it for self support missions, ...
