A Question to Ponder...

Is torso movement the most important element to the bodies contribution in kayaking?

Rescue Practice

I have declared Wednesdays the official evening of the week for rescue practice! Having said that, I will be out working rescues at Island Lake Recreation Area in Lyon Township, MI at 5pm on Wednesdays. Provided the weather is cooperating, I will do this as long as people show up ready to work. I encourage all of my loyal minions to follow suit and either join me at Island Lake or set up rescue practice in their area.

Go, team!

What's going on now...

Well, kids, it's been a while since I have updated the old blog site. Honestly, I didn't think anyone was reading the darned thing but who can tell what people do on the Internet? Lately I have been getting the "business" from folks regarding my lack of posts so I am back at it for all of my adoring fans...all 4 of them. So here's the heads up;

1) Why, God, why? Why haven't I posted in a while? Well as some of you know I have two little kids that are better than a knucklehead like me deserves. My youngest is entering his preschool years and it has been a chore to find him a place where learning and beatings go hand in hand. He is in point of fact my son and thus needs some chin music now and again...I speak metaphorically, not literally...well, not entirely literally. With that, preseasons, and all the other things that go along with that, my paddling has taken a back seat to family. This problem is being rectified as I type and I will be more active, kayak and typing wise, in no time.

2) Why am I not writing about exciting places and cool teaching opportunities? That one is simple; every time I post that I will be teaching somewhere cool, it falls apart without exception. Case in point, I was supposed to be teaching in Galveston in 2 weeks. For those of you that believe hurricanes only hit Louisiana, check out what Ike did to the Texas coast. In short, San Louis Pass is a pile of sticks and broken hearts. I can only imagine that my paddling karma had something to do with that. Sorry, Texas!

3) Why not do some more product evaluation for those companies you work for? Things are still getting settled for new gear with NRS and Immersion Research so when I get that product I will comment.

So, thanks for the comments and the emails and the Facebook posts. I will be back on the wagon an typing away from here on in!

Thanks, peeps!
