Photo by Julie Birge Due to the fact that I'm enjoying the "June Gloom" (now July) overcast skies of the San Diego area (as opposed to the Canadian wildfire overcast skies of our region), I was unable to participate in the Wabash River Race this past Saturday, but from the photos and info I received, … Continue reading Wabash River Race 7.1.23

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! Follow the aquatic adventure with the latest boats and equipment from our affiliation with Some Beach Outfitters (which includes Stellar Kayaks), Mocke Paddling Products, and Land Paddles too. See you on the water! Steve ;)

George & Tillman were … Continue reading wildcat creek via tippecanoe* race 6.10.23
Sugar Creek race 5.20.23
Sugar Creek was a bit on the low side Saturday, but that just made it more entertaining – and you couldn’t have asked for a much nicer day. It was just a touch cool – the way you want it for racing. I opted to run the 4 mile short race (shoulder preservation), now called … Continue reading Sugar Creek race 5.20.23
