In the Good Flow. Adventures and thoughts of Em Shan. Monthly Archives: October 2014. Becoming a Playboater, eh! I used to think playboating was stupid. kayaking is about going with the flow, harnessing the power of the river, and traveling with gravity downstream I said. Then I went to the Ottawa River, and everything changed. Edge control, water reading, vision placement and rolling are just a few of the skills playboating will challenge you to become better at. This was good inspiration for me to hear...

In the Good Flow. Adventures and thoughts of Em Shan. Girls at Play goes to Nepal – Life on the Sun Kosi. The Power of Creek Week →. Walking Through the Himalayas – Annapurna Circuit Trek. Preface: This post is not about kayaking. It’s about another type of adventure I had recently in Nepal; one that still delivered the satisfaction of physical exertion, seemingly unearthly places, and the camaraderie of sisterhood. All photos credited to Stef McArdle. Passive solar perfection in our favorite free room.

When a paddle shaft is too big for one’s hands, several things can result. 1 There is often a loss of dexterity. Instead of being able to make fine-tuned adjustments to the blade angle with the hand, the paddler has to use more wrist action which is not as precise or comfortable. This first set is my gr...

In the Good Flow. Adventures and thoughts of Em Shan. Monthly Archives: July 2013. Kickin’ It in Cali with the Brewer. Word on the street about the Brewer is that it’s lightweight, drains well, and is super stylin’. All of these things are true, and SO MUCH MORE! There were a few aspects about the Brewer I learned to absolutely LOVE while paddling in Cali. One pair of shoes = lighter boat = easier hiking/portaging = more energy for kayaking = better lines = MORE FUN! I had never worn a shoe that performs...

In the Good Flow. Adventures and thoughts of Em Shan. Getting Sporty and Saving Rivers in ECUADOR. Review: Bomber Gear Women’s Gauley Drysuit. Before spring hit hard here in the southeast, I had the pleasure of trying out Bomber Gear’s new Women’s Gauley Drysuit. To be honest, my initial impressions were hesitant, but knowing the BG reputation, I gave it a good old college try, and ended up super impressed with Bomber Gear’s innovation. It’s actually MADE FOR WOMEN! Total Upper Body Freedom. The inseam z...
