Rolling
“The season” is upon us and our wheels are in non-stop motion right now. We’re spending pretty much every weekend on the road. The last one started out with a Spectrum event at Kenco in Kingston, NY. It wrapped up with a video shoot in the Delaware Water Gap.

Tahoe to Whitney, by Ski
A dispatch from the field. Our friend Trauma dropped us a line to let us know what he’s getting into this Spring. Looks good to us:

Canoecopia 2013
Canoecopia is a regional show focusing on paddle sports. (Naturally.) I don’t really paddle these days, but I have spent enough summers on the Delaware River to have something to talk about with a lot of the folks at the show. I met plenty of people who were content with class 1 and class 2 [...]
Under Construction
In case you notice anything strange, we are a little bit out of sorts today. Please excuse us for anything out of the ordinary. Everybody is here at HQ, yes.
