Check out all the quality content coming from our community of paddlers, both whitewater kayaking and kayak fishing. Tune in, read up and get psyched. This is the Friday's Finds, where we seek to highlight some of the paddlers who call Virginia home. PaddleVa is about all of us. While some of the stuff shared in these posts will come from outside our waters, Virginia will always be the primary focus.

Third Up:

Forrest Short, a Wildy Pro, is a local legend in the angling community. I love that the first piece of his for Wildy is about taking his son out on the water. If this doesn't make you catch some warm and fuzzys, then you might be dead. Click the link below the photo for the full story.

Sixth Up:

The Bitter Southerner is a web-zine that routinely puts out great stories from the south. Wild Miles on the Big River is the story of John Ruskey and his love for the Mississippi River. He's compiling a book, 1,000 pages in length, about paddling the mighty Mississippi. This is a beautiful story. Click the link below the photo for the full story.
