Mid Winter Play

First off, I'd like to give a big shout to fellow Peak UK paddler Cody Howard for the amazing video he's put together. If you haven't seen it, you've got to. I got the chance to watch it earlier this week and it's one of the best paddling films I've ever seen. His website is http://www.huckinhuge.com/. Go check it out.

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff Banks and I headed up to a local play spot to beat the winter blues and get a little paddling in. We headed up to a shallow, man made feature affectionately referred to as the gutter. The water was nice and cold giving you a brain freeze every time you flipped but we still had a good time and it sure beat sitting at home or making runs on the icy ski hill.

I used my PeakUK Creek dry top and it was super dry. I have an old dry suit I use occasionally and this dry top is far drier than the dry suit and doesn't seem to have moisture build up from sweat like the old dry suit does. It's great!
