Jay summer sea kayaking on off Anglesey, North Wales
Enewsletters We've been out on the water testing river running kayaks recently for a big group test in issue 115 of Canoe & Kayak UK and we've halso had our paddle mitts on something very exciting. The brand new Pyranha Varun playboat. We had the only Varun in the UK on test and it didn't dissapoint. We'll have a full on-line 'Frst Look' video review uploaded by the end of today. Talking of videos we've just uploaded a new selection of  the very popular Canoeing Skills films by Pete Montandon. This month Pete covers How to Do The J-Stroke indepth. For the kayakers check out the latest of our great Basic Kayak skills vids - How to do Sweep Strokes. We've also got a great Mini interview with regular Canoekayak.co.uk Blogger Josh Wedgwood and an online interview with World Freestyle C1 Champion David Bainbridge with exclusive footage of Dave's incredible paddling.

We've got some more great paddling trips planned for this month, so we're feeling chuffed. Where will you be paddling? If you want to find great paddling trips check out our Places to Paddle section. We've  got loads of river trips online and we've finally got our first few sea kayak trips up there too and we hope to add more and some great touring routes in the next month too.

Looking for new gear, courses, services, coaching? Then check out our one-stop Market Place to find what you need.

And don't forget to get blogging and adding your pics and videos to keep us up to date on all your paddling adventures too. 
Have fun, paddle safe

Sea Kayaking Poll
