The NEW PaddleAndOar Bookmarks

[Apr. 1, 2007]

It is very difficult to bookmark kayak sites because it's hard to categorize. There are commercial sites that sell kayaks, lessons, books, accessories, etc. There are clubs that are doing some of the same things. And it doesn't get any easier from there.

Over the years I've collected a lot of bookmarks and have recently put them up on the web using the del.icio.us website. It allows one to "tag" the bookmarks. Tagging allows one bookmark to be put into multiple categories.

Still confused? click on the title above or go here » to find out more. Or just go directly to the del.icio.us/paddleandoar site itself.

Choosing the "right" kayak

There are a lot of choices to consider in choosing a kayak. Saying that one is better than another is usually like saying on type of motor vehicle is better than another. The following articles however, are a good place to start.
