Kayaking in the Winter??? But, of Course!!!

We know for some of us that summer is almost here, but for others winter is just about to start. As these pictures show, a couple of our customers will go kayaking any time of the year – even in the heart of winter!

Shown above - John paddling on Lake Michigan using our Rosario model as part of his personal challenge to paddle at least once every month, year round – which he managed to do for almost 10 years. Way to go, John! His “100^th month of Paddling” commemorative paddle is our Kinloch model (pictured on the right). John purchased his Rosario from us the very first year we participated at Canoecopia (2012) in Madison, WI. He has since become a dear friend and has a special place in our hearts.


Shown below - During a snowstorm in the Pacific Northwest – in Utsalady Bay - Myles had fun with his very own Kid’s Greenland Paddle by NorthPoint Paddles. The smile on his face says it all!

 

Is it Too Soon to be Thinking About Kayaking Next Spring? NO!!!

Here at NorthPoint Paddles, we are already busy gearing up for Canoecopia 2017 - coming up next March in Madison, WI. We missed being there this last March and are anxious to be back for our 5^th time. Hope to see you there!!!

With winter soon upon us, we hope you get the chance to get out kayaking in the last of these beautiful fall days. Enjoy!

WISHING YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Keep on Paddling!
