Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
Here’s a quick edit of our first day of 2014 on the Slave river. We made a run down Cassette rapids, hitting all the standard spots: party hole, outrageous, and rollercoaster. If levels continue to drop, we should be surfing Rockem Sockem pretty soon! Continue reading

Chris Wing has been an instructor for as long as he has been a kayaker. He started H2o Dreams out of a desire to spur growth and reverence for paddle sports education all while providing a different spin to the presentation of familiar topics. I’ve been following Chris on Facebook and his Youtube channel for a number of years and really like his approach to coaching. Chris kindly agreed to take part in the Unsponsored Q&A series, enjoy.

How did you first get into kayaking? Who introduced you to the sport?
It kind of fell into my lap honestly. When I went away for college, our university had an outdoor program that I became involved with through rock climbing. I ended up landing a job with the program and our director was an ACA whitewater kayak instructor. He was adamant about cross training us in everything, but whitewater kayaking really stuck with me. I still to this day can remember all of those first river trips. Out of everything that happened during that time in my life, kayaking still stands out the most.
Hot on the heals of the new Prijon Curve is the Forte. The Forte is a sporty river runner for light and medium weight paddlers.
Another great edit from the Summit Media Group.
Just an hours drive East of Ottawa runs Chutes De Plaisance, Québec. Joel Kowalski and Devyn Scott drove up from the Ottawa Valley for a few laps of the drops while water levels held. As the rain let go and a foggy day lingered, we found magic. Continue reading

It looks like the river running, fun to paddle/play kayak is back. Everyone doesn’t need a creeker all of the the time. This exactly what the guys at Jackson Kayak think, so to that end Jackson have just finished their first production of the new Fun in the 2014 mold. Looks like it could be a winner.
It has been some time since Prijon have launched a new whitewater kayak. The Curve is a river running kayak – super agile and boofs like a champ. The Curve also comes with Prijon’s brand new outfitting system.
I short vid of the great Hurley Weir, an awesome play spot and community for paddlers world wide.
