13 Celsius yesterday, full-on sunshine - not bad for winter here in syrup-sucking Canada. A gold-medal day for kayaking for sure - which is all I care about. Let us know if you get any details. Some folks got out with Freya, the "Hoff" last Saturday after her Victoria presentation. I rather think we are going to see more 18 foot fast sea kayaks in the future...more wing paddle use and more Olympic-style, performance-oriented paddle strokes. Doug L I just heard that Shaun White, who took the gold medal for the half-pipe at the Vancouver Olympics, spent yesterday morning taking a trip in a sea kayak. Does anyone know who took him out? Are there any photos? There should be a story in there somewhere. Nothing like a paddle to get you relaxed and ready for competing at the Olympic level.
