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:

Gordon Dalton, Pyranha Kayaks Pro, is a long time member of the PaddleVa Family and is always getting after it in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Here is a video of him and a crew of others knocking out a first descent of Upper Tumbling Creek in Va.
