Jay in Bull Bay Anglesey
Enewsletters A definite salty flavour to the last few weeks. We've been testing plastic sea kayaks on Anglesey, attending a Discover Sea Kayaking Course at Pla y Brenin and headed down to South Devon for the excellent South West Sea Kayaking Meet at East Prawle. Pete Montandon has been out with his canoe and video camera again and this month he's demonstrating how to turn your canoe on the move. Talking of videos check out CK.CO.UK user Joel's great Rock hopping movie.

We've got some more great paddling trips planned for this month, so we' happy. 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 coming soon 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
