Kayaker Nearly Overturned by Blue Whale
There’s something about the waters of California that makes for some of the sickest, most incredible human/marine life interactions you could think of.

Kayak World Record Jump at Metlako Falls
Forget beer and UFC. Real men buy kayaks. Like Sam Freihofer and Tod Wells, who just took a leap of faith over Metlako Falls, in Eagle Creek, Oregon. That’s an 82 foot plunge, by the way, and beats the former record for a tandem kayak jump by 12 feet.

White Water Kayaking, With a Vengeance
Kayaks are quickly finding their way into my lexicon of coolest and most useful tools around. I mean, you can skydive with a kayak, score a second meeting with a suitor of your choice with a kayak, and as this video shows, you can do multiple cartwheels on a raging river with a kayak! Really, [...]

Rock Climbing and Kayaking Will Get You “Lucky”
Thanks to the quick-witted and jovial chaps at getoutdoors.com for blogging about this. They’re talking about a list posted on MSN UK about the ten hobbies that are most likely to get you some attention from the opposite sex. It seems men just can’t say no to a woman who lists “dancing” or [...]
