First Post

Why am I doing this?

A few reasons. First there is no centralized information source for NYC kayaking. SeaLevel did a great job for a while and then there's Frogma which is more of a personal view. Love them both. But this will be strictly kayaking and things concerning kayaking like access and hazards and whatever else comes along.

It took me darn near 5 years to gain the knowledge I now have and frankly, that's too long. The New York City kayaking universe is highly fragmented. This blog serves to keep you, the reader, in touch with as many of those fragments as you dare care about.

For those who currently paddle the Big Apple this may be a good source for hooking up with fellow paddlers or perhaps trying or learning something new. For those who wish to visit New York City and paddle this blog should serve as a good introduction to our outstanding watersports scene.
