It was my first paddling on the Horsetooth Reservoir this year. I launched Sea Wind canoe at North Eltuck Cove from Lory State Park just dragging my boat on snow like sleds. It was similar snow scenery as four years ago when I was shooting Colorado Winter Paddling video clip. Just an easy 6 mile paddling with a long photo session at Quarry Cove.
Chase Jarvis blog is one of several photoblogs I read. I am under influence of his POV (point-of-view) photography. I haven’t tried anything like that with a bike yet, but I started to play with a Bogen – Manfrotto Magic Arm
Here is Laura’s Story by Chase Jarvis. A video clip about a girl who loves to run. A simple narration combined with video and still pictures. Different and interesting shooting angles.
It would be nice to create something similar about a paddler.

Here is a little picture gallery featuring Jeremy in his wildwater kayak from the recent paddling on the South Platte River (Sunday, March 15).
Not too much activity in this blog, but training and racing on the South Platte River I covered in my companion Fitness Paddling blog. I paddled mostly WSBS Thunderbolt-X kayak, but I was tried Spencer X-treme canoe.
340 miles on the Missouri River from Kansas City to St Charles in less than 100 hours. The MR340 Race started in 2006 with 15 boats. Next year over 70 boats entered. Last year we saw 150 boats at the start in Kaw Point and 250 boat is expected this August.
I am running a little series in my fitness paddling blog devoted to 3 years of MR340 race – stories by three time finishers. So far, we have the following parts:
Introduction
1. Bryan Hopkins
2. West Hansen
3. Christina Glauner
4. Chuck and Di McHenry
I posted in my companion blog, Fitness Paddling, 8 pictures of Surfrigger, my outrigger canoe from the recent paddling photo session on my local Beaver Pond. You can also enjoy there a video featuring Danny Ching paddling OC-1.
2×5 mile paddling workout on the South Platte River: upstream from Kersey to the Plumb Ditch dam and back down the river, about 3 hours with some playing and shooting at the dam.
Second paddling this week on ice free Beaver Pond in Arapaho Bend Natural Area in Fort Collins. Camera: Canon EOS 40D mounted with my sticky pod (3 suction cup mount) on a bow of Sea Wind canoe.
