Playak Weekly Digest
The world's top paddling news in week 45, 2018.
Brittany Parker Moab
Brittany Parker - I just got back to Rifle from Moab last night. And I feel like a new person. Staying with Grandma in Rifle for my recovery has been great and I am so lucky to have her in my life. But I didn't realize how much of a funk I had sunken into.
Brittany Parker Where the Mountains Meet the Sea
Brittany Parker - There’s something different about the mountains. There’s a type of people that exists there that doesn't or can’t exist anywhere else. Every time I find myself away from them for an extended period of time I realize how special they really are.
Palm Blogs Saying a Special Goodbye
Palm Blogs - Water rushes under my boat. I feel the warm waters of the White Nile flow between my fingers as I trail my hand behind me.
Jackson Kayak Mer-Men Are Real at Buseater Wave, Ottawa River
Jackson Kayak - Freestyle river boarders and Rockstar 4.0 at one of the worlds best waves from team paddler Seth Ashworth.
Palm Blogs Kayak fishing for giants – common skate
Palm Blogs - The thought of catching massive fish from a relatively small craft really does drive the kayak fishing fire inside of me. There are not many fish that grow over the 100 lb mark that we can target here in the UK from a kayak. There is the porbeagle shark growing to over 500 lb, but this smaller cousin of the...
unsponsored A first look at Sweet Protection Strutter 2019 - Whitewater helmet

Canoe Kayak The Purpose of Storms
Canoe Kayak - There is a storm raging outside. A cyclone to be precise, spinning out of the Tasman Sea and pummeling the South Island of New Zealand with high winds and torrential rains, filling the rivers past their banks and turning the normally turquoise waters of Lake Wakatipu into a surging mass of slate-grey waves.
Jackson Kayak Racing the Karma RG in Maine
Jackson Kayak - In early spring, almost too early because it is still winter there are small stream and river races up in central Maine. The races start around the 3rd week of March if ice out allows and go through into fall.
American Rivers The Kennebec River’s Legacy
American Rivers - On that humid morning on July 1,1999, we knew we were at a turning point for Maine’s Kennebec River. What we didn't realize was that we were at a turning point for the conservation movement and rivers nationwide.
Canoe Kayak Dane Jackson and Adriene Levknecht Lead the Field at the 23rd Green Race
Canoe Kayak - With the sun shining and the water level registering at a respectable 9 inches, the conditions could not have been better for the 172 paddlers competing at the 23rd Green River Narrows Race.
WWTCC Dry Wear Maintenance, Repair and When to Accept Its Time to Move On
WWTCC - With the winter season just around the corner (in theory) and with a couple of good weekends of rain already, its almost definitely time to start breaking out the winter cags and drysuits. Before hopping on the water for the first time this season though its probably worth giving your gear a quick once over.
