		<title>Buying a Life Jacket (PFD)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I am going to suggest that you read an excellent blog post by Derrick Mayoleth, a fellow ACA instructor, who wrote a very comprehensive article on what to look for in a PFD and how to properly fit it.  Your life jacket is a very important piece of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buying a Sprayskirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sprayskirts are available for most kayaks including recreational kayaks.  However, they are really only a necessary safety item for whitewater and sea kayakers.  A sprayskirts is needed to keep waves from filling the cockpit of a kayak and making it unstable and unseaworthy.  It also keeps the water out of the kayak during a roll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Choosing a Tow Belt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The first sign of spring has arrived on my doorstep.  The Canoecopia program brochure was delivered a little over a week ago.  Can paddling season be far behind?  As the snow begins to melt into the rivers and lakes, our thoughts naturally turn to all the pieces of kayaking gear that we want or need [...]]]></description>

		<title>The All-Important &#8220;Hip Snap&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago I posted a blog about learning to roll at pool sessions during the winter.  I had promised to put some video of hip snap practice on the website.  It is actually on the photo gallery page, but I didn&#8217;t get around to blogging about it until today.  Sorry. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Cool Toy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel like Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) in the movie, &#8220;The Jerk&#8221;.  &#8220;The new phone book&#8217;s here!  The new phone book&#8217;s here!&#8221;  In my case it isn&#8217;t a phone book, but rather a new kayaking gadget to play with.  I admit it.  I&#8217;m a kayaking gear head.
As many of you know, I sold kayaks for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Education of a Paddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading some kayak-related blogs recently, something I haven&#8217;t had a whole lot of time to do before now.  Some are pretty interesting, some just seem to be a clearing house for press releases, and a few are a little scary.  The internet can be a great tool for finding information, just keep in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Women Paddlers Networking Events</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I&#8217;ve had a lot of female paddling students and customers ask about ways to find other women to paddle with.  This seemed to be an especially difficult problem for recreational kayakers since the recreational paddlers are less likely to be organized into clubs, and they just seem to lurk in the weeds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time to Head South</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks as if our January thaw is over and we&#8217;re headed back into the deep freeze.  Time to think about heading someplace warm for a week or two. There are almost an unlimited number of places that you could go if money is no object, but I have a suggestion for those of you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Computers Cause Kayak Injuries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had this dull, aggravating pain in my right upper arm all summer.  Even after the paddling season ended, it hasn&#8217;t gone away.  I was getting really concerned starting to imagine that I may have a bicep tear or some problem with my rotator cuff.  It wasn&#8217;t excruciating, so I didn&#8217;t want to waste the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Pool Sessions to Begin Learning to Roll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time of year, as a paddler, you have 3 options if you want to get in your boat on water.  You can take a vacation to somewhere warmer.  You can get a drysuit and look for open water around Wisconsin, or you can take your kayak to a pool session.  In my next few [...]]]></description>
