The East Cost Surf Kayak committee has a calendar of events on their
website.

The CR is a new downriver playboat, designed for running rivers and playing along the way. Had the opportunity to check out prototypes and it looks like a fun design. Teh big one should be a good choice for big paddlers.

Not to preach, but this seems like exactly what kayaking doesn't need.

John Weed, Bo Barnes and Paul McHugh spent a good chunk of last fall paddling 400 miles, from Oregon to San Francisco. A wild adventure, and chronicled in detail in the SF Gate Newspaper. With information on gear, techniques and just a great story, worth a read for every paddler.

The Full Story

Wavesport and Local Paddler have announced their tour for 2006. With free clinics and demos all over the country, they'll probably be at a spot near you.
Full Details

There are a couple of short trailers here for the Wethouse video. I had a chance to watch the full movie at an event last month, and I thought it was great. Awesome paddling scenes, and some neat interviews with paddler's families. Nice pace and great shots.
