Title: Best kayaking websites
Post by: Maryanne on September 15, 2011, 00:25:57: What are the best websites for kayaking related/relevant information that you use?

For example, websites with good or useful information about:

-weather
-releases
-training
-coaching
-gear/equipment
-kayaking humour
-kayaking news
-competitions
-famous kayaking personalities
...or anything else kayaking related that's worth a look!
