News Watch

The Playak News Watch continously finds the world"s new paddling headlines. From the huge number of headlines it finds, Playak editors hand-pick and present the best ones (yes, that is very subjective, but they do their best to please our readers) every day, and those that then get the most reader views are sent out in the daily News Flash. Each Friday, we send out the Weekly Digest (instead of the daily News Flash), containing the top headlines of the past 7 days, as well as the most popular videos and forum topics, and a list of upcoming paddling events.

Mar 17 2020Badfish SUP FB Dear Customers & Partners, We recognize that with the constantly changing COVID-19 situation around the world, this is an unprecedented time for everyone — a time that, for all of us, is filled with uncertainty. We are taking this situation seriously and empowering our team to reduce risk. We, as a company, will remain open and maintain business operations as close to normal as possible because we can do so safely. There are three of us most days at the warehouse and on a regular day there is a lot of space between us in the workspace. We will continue fulfilling and sending out orders, while also answering all customer service inquiries. Our main concern of course is the wellbeing of everyone which includes our retail partners. This is the time to support your local businesses as much as you can. Many of our retail partners are finding creative ways to support their customers through this difficult time. Visit their social media accounts, send an e-mail, or give them a call to see what measures are being taken and what you can do to help support them. We are all in this together and we are thinking about you, your families, and your communities. We genuinely hope you are able to find some time to safely enjoy the outdoors and the change of seasons. Let’s continue to look out for each other through these hard times. We will see you out on the water soon! Mike, Zack, Luke and the entire Badfish family.

Mar 10 2020Badfish SUP FB The Badfish Ladies Highlight Week! Meet team rider Reta Boychuk! Reta lives in Cochrane, Alberta. Reta is probably most known for her seemingly bottomless stoke and positive energy. She is a certified Paddle Canada Instructor Trainer, she's our Canada sales rep, owns a bada** van, and is a mountain girl through and through. When she's not paddling in the heart of Winter you'll probably find her on the slopes shredding on her skis or snowboard or enjoying a Ceasar at the base of the hill. This girl is always up to something and she's playing a huge role in growing river stand up paddling in Canada through instruction, group paddles, and events. She recently got back to Canada from Ecuador after exploring the countries rivers for over two weeks. And there is no doubt there's more adventure to come. If you're looking to take a lesson from this rad chica check out her latest blog post on the Badfish website highlighting upcoming clinics, events, and other instructors around the country. https://blog.badfishsup.com/canadas-stand-up-paddle-clinics-events-and-instructors/ Image: Ashley Voykin Photography

Sep 27 2019Instagram NODI E MARINERIA PER KAYAKER⁠⠀ Vuoi imparare i nodi fondamentali e qualcuno in più per diventare un perfetto marinaio/kayaker?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ La mattina esercitazioni a terra sul Rigger Bench. Durante il pomeriggio esercitazioni in mare. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Useremo solo cime SENZA MOSCHETTONI: cogliere, lanciare, abbisciare, appendere e stivare una cima. Armare rimorchi, zattere, con nodi, legature e giunzioni. A seconda delle capacità vedremo anche come preparare certe manovre con cimature semplici, impalmature, giunzioni impiombate e gassa impiombata, ecc.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Scoprirai quante sono le situazioni che puoi risolvere brillantemente con una cima e il nodo giusto.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Il prossimo corso a Santa Margherita Ligure⁠⠀ 9 NOV 2019⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ °INFO sul nostro link in bio ⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣.⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ .⁣⠀⁠⠀ #tuilik #pagaiaazzurra #federcanoa #kayak #kajak #sealovers #kayaking #seakayaking #paddler #kayaklife #kayaklifestyle #getoutside #escapeandexplore #waterlust #getoutstayout #getoutthere #paddler #vitaminsea #greenlandpaddle #kayakclothing #alpinepaddle #biondoendurance #kokatatusa⁣ #peakuk #reedchillcheater #tideracekayaks #wernerpaddles⠀⁠⠀ @pagaie.alpine.paddle @biondoendurance @kokatatusa @peakukkayaking @reed_chillcheater

Sep 13 2019Instagram This past weekend we spent two very enjoyable days at @scuola_di_mare_santa_teresa for our FOUNDATION course. ⁠⠀ We practiced personal skills from paddling technique to stern rudder, low brace, moving sideways, moving sideways on the move and both self and assisted rescues. We also went over how to secure a kayak to a rack or trailer. ⁠⠀ While out on the water we left the harbour, crossed a few shipping lanes and went for a short paddle in more realistic conditions with some squalls and wind gusts around us. ⁠⠀ Everyone was happy to discover how exciting paddling can be! ⁠⠀ Thanks to all of our students and congratulations on your FICK Pagaia Azzurra SK1 Certificate!! ⁠⠀ #seayouonthewater⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #tuilik #pagaiaazzurra #federcanoa #kayak⁠⠀ #kayaker #kajak #kayaking #seakayaking #seakayak⁠⠀ #kayakingadventures #kayaktrip #Kayakingislove #kayaklifestyle #kayakgram #kayakingfun #kayaking_is_mylife #kayakingislife #allseasonskayaking #paddlingmixtape #paddler #paddling #sealovers #intothewater #greenlandpaddle #alpinepaddle #kokatatusa ⁣ #peakuk #tideracekayaks @pagaie.alpine.paddle

That's Starboard IQ #starboardiq 'After six months of foiling fun in the surf it was about time to get pulled in Newquay & #128514; Seems a good way to learn the basics of control if not the same effortless sensation as gliding on swell & waves.
