Flexibility is always a good topic of discussion when it comes to kayaking. Depending on our style of paddling, sometimes we might squeeze ourselves into the tightest of fits, or contort our bodies to have the maximum control possible over the kayak. But is this necessary for all types of paddling? Are there things we could do to help us along the way? Hopefully this will be an interesting discussion on the topic with a few possible takeaways on things to consider when it comes to flexibility.

An absolute must-paddle destination for canoeists! Beautiful Wisconsin is blessed with many water types and over 84,000 miles of rivers!

I love my kayak, it haddles both still water and class one on a creek very well.

As the leaves start to turn bright hues, it is an important time of year to reflect on your paddling trips from the previous season, and consider how you choose to log and share your adventures. From a social media post, to old school slideshows, photo books and formal logs, there is without a doubt a need to record your river days, to reflect on them and move downstream with some insights.
