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.

Baldface Creek

Mt. Hood H2O (Mar 10) -   " I do believe this is the best class 3/4 wilderness run I have ever done to date."                -Joseph Hatcher                                         BETA Stream:  The logistics for this run can be tricky, so it is rare for non-locals to get on, but keep it on your radar because if the conditions align it is a bucket-list run. This run is more commonly done as a very long day trip by starting the hike before the sun comes up, but to really enjoy the run I highly recommend doing it as a 2, or even 3-day trip. The first part of logistics is the shuttle, the take out is the town of Gasquet, and the shuttle takes paddlers up Patrick Creek and into Oregon.  A gate is often closed 7 miles from the put in, ...  read more...

Pyranha Firecracker: New Freeride Kayak

WWTCC (Mar 2 2023) - The Firecracker is a freeride boat made for the people! It is shorter than many other whitewater river kayaks available, which means it is perfect, not only for artificial courses but for shallower, natural rivers around the UK. If you want to be able to pull stern squirts or send it off monster drops the Firecracker is more than capable of doing both.  read more...
