Maybe this belongs in a DM, I don't know but here goes.. Glenn, glorious memories of The Dead & West Forks, an annual pilgrimage that still holds a dear place in my life. Reverse eddy turns, reverse peel outs, attainments, cross stern strokes, MEs, Hydra Duets, debates on quartering, power...

The Planet Canoe channel on Youtube is amazing, I have watched it for years. It covers all, or most?, of the canoe sports, SUP, Marathon, Sprints, Wild Water, and my favorite, Slalom. I especially enjoy the World Cup Slalom series for C-1 Men and Women. They run a full program during Northern...
