Land Paddling

Do you enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or stand up paddling?

These activities are hard to do in the winter.  I suggest trying land paddling!

Land paddling consists of a long board skateboard and a Big Stick.  Not only is it a great work out, but its a great way to feel like you are actually paddling.

This activity is not only great in the winter, but also in the summer.  If you feel like paddling but don't have enough time to drive to the water, you can land paddle right in your neighborhood. 

This gear can be purchased from many local retailers.  Almost any skateboard shop will sell the boards.  The stick can be made or purchased online at many different retailers.

If you love paddling, trust me you will love this~!

Will Winter Ever Arrive?

Tis the end of December and lakes are not frozen
Rain in the forecast , no snow to be seen.
Boredom inside, with no winterwonderland to be found
Has winter passed us by
or is it coming sometime soon.

Now, Im not one who actually loves winter but since its cold it could at least be snowy.  There are a few winter activites I enjoy doing.

Sitting inside watching tv is not one of them. but what to do when its cold outside and no snow to be found.

Snowboarding, Snowkitting, snow shoeing, cross country skiing....

All the fun winter sports here in Michigan are on hold.

The season will come but its looking as though it shall be a short season.
