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.

Fifth Up:

"The ability to distribute content photos, videos, blogs, tweets in real-time has offset the need for a high-risk story after the fact, at least in terms of reaching an audience." Outside Magazine explores the dynamic of Social Media on adventure stories and those that tell them. This speaks a bit to why we focus on PaddleVa stories. We share outside stories too, but the local ones always take presidence. Click the link below the phot for the full story.
