Paddling Tip of the Week
A float plan is an essential part of all paddling trips, even routes you have paddled several times before. Any paddle has the potential to develop into a situation where you might not return as expected. If you end up being overdue to the point of concern, will anyone know where you are? A simple text or call to someone you trust saying who you are paddling with, where you are paddling and when you plan on being back is all it takes.

Paddling Tip of the Week
When paddling, odds are, you’ve been sitting in one upright position for an hour or two. Now your body is quite tight and settled in that position. To avoid cramps and aches throughout the rest of the day, do some light stretching. It’s also beneficial to do these before padding, as well.
