Amazing what you find at the back of the shed

Have been clearing out the shed lately. Selling off unused kayaking equipment etc and giving the place a bit of a cleanup.  I found a pile of interesting gear including a newsletter that I helped publish in 1983, 28 years ago.

This is the front page of the magazine which was published by the Recreational Canoeing Association in South Australia (long before Australian Canoeing or Canoe SA) and an article I wrote on Canoe Polo. I think I was the committee treasurer at the time. Its interesting to see old names, some that are still around, such as Ken Sullivan, who is still involved in Canoe Polo, but now playing against his own kids. I have a few more boxes to get to so I think I might find magazines from over 30 years ago.

Sweet Cheeks kayak seat

Yes after a few months of testing I definitely have found the best kayak seat for any kayak. The Jackson Sweet Cheeks is just a fantastic system for any kayak, especially anyone looking to get a tight fit in the cockpit but with the comfort to paddle long distances. I’m so impressed I’ve done a short video on how they work.

What’s wrong with kids today ?

Went to a 21st birthday party yesterday. All half mast jeans, T-shirts and baseball caps, backwards of course. Gave him a card with 2 words of wisdom MOVE OUT !!!!. Yes still cramping his parents style.
