P&H Custom Sea Kayaks Blog

The last week of Febuaray each year Sweetwater Kayaks hosts a BCU/Greenland skills week and then on the weekend the Symposium proper.

This year the weather was superb! Sunny days in the low 70’sF, and warm clear water for rolling , and playing in.

With people from as far away as Australia the contingent of people was very international. Level 5 coaches , Gordon Brown from Scotland, Steve Maynard from Maine , a couple of Level 5 Aspirants and several L4 ,L3 and L2 coaches nicely rounded things out…the Greenland folks Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson were on hand teaching to full classes.

It was a great break for most from the clutches of winter. Next year will be the 12th annual and already promises to be better than ever.

Well, kids, Rutabaga’s Canoecopia is in a week and it ought to be a barn burner this year. I will be doing a “Kayak Games” lecture as well as a pool show with Danny Mongo. The premeire of “This is the Sea 3” will also happen on Saturday night at a local, very cool pub.

This event kicks off the year for us at P&H as well as fires up most of the paddlers in the Midwest. I look forward to seeing alot of my old friends there as well as meeting some new ones.
