The world's latest paddling headlines.
Palm Blogs How I kayak through the winter
Palm Blogs - In the winter it starts to get cold, lots of people are put off by this and do not kayak over this period as much but luckily there are ways to get out on the water and not get put off by the cold. Here are four things I do to not get put off kayaking over the winter.
Jackson Kayak Easy to rig, versatile kayak for fishing and more - YuPIK
Jackson Kayak - The YuPIK is a kayak that totally surprised me. I know of no other kayak that is so easy to rig, versatile and can, not only be used as a fishing kayak, but also as a tandem with a second seat or even for SUP fishing! In addition, it offers an infinite amount of space for a dog or for a lot of equipment on camping trips.

SUP World Mag Stand Up Paddle Board Fishing
SUP World Mag - Getting out trying the Bassday Surface Lure Range on Australian Bass with some crazy lures. Calm water out of the wind and not much tide run to get some solid catches or it can be a tad tricky to manoveoir around.

Jackson Kayak How to Catch Open Water Yellow Perch
Jackson Kayak - In the southeastern region of Virginia, a few popular open bodies of water were stocked with yellow perch. People seem to have forgotten about them. After releasing well over fifty perch this year, I have had many between one and one and a half pounds, or even more on some occasions.
Frogma George's Dumpling Paddle - Lake Sebago paddle and cookery session last year
Frogma - George is a great guy and he loves making dumplings, and he loves teaching other people how to make dumplings too - it's one of his family's cooking traditions and he loves passing it along. This made for a wonderful autumn gathering at the American Canoe Association camp at Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park

It is a very large design at 78" long with an 8" wide beavertail blade painted in a faded grayish paint and along with a classic Penobscot 5-stepped grip handle.
Jackson Kayak Paddlers Kayak Yoga – KAYOGA
Jackson Kayak - I have discovered the new best thing for my fellow hibernating kayakers. Yoga for paddlers. I call this kayak yoga… Kayoga! There is some sort of special bond between a paddler and their boats. I know I am not the only kayaker missing my kayak over the winter. Well I have found a new way to spend some quality time with my kayaks in the cold winter months. I call it, KAYOGA. It’s like Yoga, but better.
Tsunami Rangers Certification – What’s the Point? the Tsunami Rangers Take on Sea Kayaking Certifications
Tsunami Rangers - This topic arose during one of our Tarp Talks on the Tsunami Retreat in November, 2019, and we’d like to share our thoughts on this very important subject. In the past, the Rangers have been vilified as a bunch of chest-beaters, careless, crazy, dangerous, whatever.

Isle Surf and SUP Why Paddle Boarding Is Great for Your Mental Health
Isle Surf and SUP - It’s no secret that exercise and meditation are great for your mental health.

Perhaps this is the perfect time to merge the practice of mindfulness with exercise in a natural environment.
