Just thought it would be interesting if we posted some of our favorite websites that relate to kayaking. any aspect is fine as any topic will broaden our horizons…examples: safety, touring, reviews, pictures of scupperpro frank with an actual fish He caught (might actually pay top dollar for that one), etc etc…the list of topics are endless…
sorry Frank…just couldn’t resist
I’ll start with a few:

Ray Jardine
Every time I see his name in a forum I will say that bears are killed because of his egotistical advice to put your food in your tent because your time is too important to bear bag your food. Got to cover a lot of miles to keep that big ego pumped up.
Yes, I know about his designing cams, etc etc. but I am disgusted by his advice to PCT thru-hikers to keep food in the tent overnight. He should recant. Yes, finding a tree to use the double cantilever bear bagging technique on is no fun, but the bears were here first (IMHOP).

Good discussions on the merits of various SOT kayaks especially and on rigging for fishing. Great pictures to catches too.

Kayak Surfing
Not many butt surfers here. Probably the best source is the surfzone over at boatertalk.
Our local Sierra Nevada witewater board is Boof.com

WOW WOW
Fantastic pictures Lucas, thanks. Loved the Gaspe and Perce Rock shots. One photo from Five Islands Nouvelle Ecosse was an exact copy of one I took three weeks ago, but at low tide. Merci mon ami.
