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.

First Up:

Bobby Rae used to work at ARC before he graduated from Longwood U. and headed into the world, but he's still in the 804, repping PaddleVa like a champ. Here's B Rae snatching a snakehead up in NoVa.

Second Up:

Reggie Diaz works in our Ashland store. He's normally out trying to catch fish, but lately he's been sliding into the whitewater scene. He caught some good video of his first run down the Lower James in RVA. Nice work Reggie.

Third Up:

Motionize. Back in the day your friends had to video tape you paddling, then you'd go back and review your paddle stroke. Not anymore. Let Motionize help.

Outdoor Retailer has been in full effect this week. The updates are coming out fast and furious. Here's a little re-cap of the Open Air Demo at the Summer Market. I love that this is what we sell, fun in the sun!
