Outfitting your Dagger kayak

With spring right around the corner here in the southeast and rain in the forecast I thought I’d share a bit about outfitting your Dagger kayak. The great thing about Dagger’s outfitting is that it strikes a nice balance of being functional but still very easy to adjust and set up. To outfit my new boat in its entirety usually takes me between 10-20 minutes and then I have a boat that’s fully customized to me. We’ll take this in stages starting… Continue

Today is World Water Day--Celebrate a River!



As paddlers, we have a special connection to the rivers, lakes and streams where we all love to play. We anxiously await spring runoff and consistent winter storms to fill our favorite streams with the fresh water that allows us to do what we love--get outdoors and go for a paddle.



The freshwater that feeds our rivers also sustains our lives--we drink it, use it to irrigate fields and water gardens, use it to manufacture goods and… Continue

Yoga for Kayaking: Upward Frog Pose

The Iliopsoas is a hip flexor muscle group comprising of three muscles: The psoas minor, the psoas major and the iliacus. This group is one of the strongest of the hip flexor muscles and the psoas major

runs from our lumbar spine across the hip joint to the upper inner

thigh. Very important muscle! The interesting thing about these

muscles, is that they actually need to be stretched to keep their

normal tone. Otherwise they shorten and tighten easily which can…
