The world's latest paddling headlines.
Alder Creek Kayak Whitewater Kayaking Is Supposed to Be Fun
Alder Creek Kayak - I love working at a paddlesports shop because I get to nerd out all day with other paddlers. I speak with people from all different parts of the sport – sea kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, surf kayaking, rafting, and my favorite: whitewater kayaking. One of the most common things I hear from people who have never whitewater kayaked is that they would never do it because it is too dangerous. I would like to address that sentiment in this blog post.

SUP Mag UK - When SUP first took off in modern guise, back around 2005, a good few peeps dug out their old school One Design windsurfing sleds for use with paddles.
