Surf ski, outrigger canoe, and kayak racing form a huge part of my life. As soon as the water is open in the Midwest, I'm on it 'till it freezes over again!

Tippicanoe River Race 5.7.22

Posted on by River Bear Racing in Land Paddling & Other Great Topics

Terry chose a fantastic day for the Tippecanoe race this year. With temps in the mid-60’s, sunshine, and fast water for near record-breaking speeds over the 10 mile course, it was all you could ask for a race. Not to mention a beautiful venue; the Tippecanoe was absolutely stunning on the way down, with the … Continue reading Tippicanoe River Race 5.7.22 →

Hoosier Regatta 4.23.22

Posted on by River Bear Racing in Marathon Racing

Sometimes you feel like a nut… Saturday’s running of the 2022 Hoosier Regatta on the White River in Noblesville started our season much like a military boot camp: a shock to the system, a lot of hard work, but with a solid dose of humor and good memories.

Much of our usual gang was there, along with several we hadn't seen for a while (like Craig and Lori … Continue reading FORT WAYNE PADDLERS: St. Joe River 8.23.22 →

Fort Wayne Paddlers: Golden Lake 8.30.22

Golden Lake 8.30.22 As a stout wind attempted to separate my kayak from my grip while loading my car, I had grand visions of Hawaiian-style super waves generating some gnarly surf on Golden Lake. Reality was a touch different (much to the delight of most of our other paddlers), but I have no complaints. Water … Continue reading Fort Wayne Paddlers: Golden Lake 8.30.22 →

Fort Wayne Paddlers: Sylvan Lake 9.6.22

Posted on by River Bear Racing in Recreational to Stellar SR

Fort Wayne Paddlers Sylvan Lake 9.6.22 As Mike noted in his original message, our last outing on Sylvan Lake was "electrifying", threatening to give us a "Back to the Future" experience (except for the challenge of getting a kayak up to 88 mph...). Today was not like that at all, but about as pleasant as … Continue reading Fort Wayne Paddlers: Sylvan Lake 9.6.22 →
