Happy New Year Paddlers!
Question...
In your area, is it hot or cold outside?
No matter where you live seasonal changes may happen gradually while weather conditions can change in an instant.
Whether you're in Northern or Southern Hemispheres you'll have different challenges to overcome and opportunities to enjoy so you can make the most out of our sport no matter what season you're in.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere...
It's cold outside.
And that means one of two things:
- You're an aspiring diehard paddler and want tips on how to dress appropriately for winter paddling.
- You're a warm weather person and want to plan an escape from the cold.
Either way...
