Hard to believe but the Labor Day weekend is already upon us and, despite the calendar listing 9/23 as the start of Autumn, it signals the end of summer.

Don't despair, however, as some great paddling is left whether just out & about or looking for that last race or two. Then comes surf season!

The big news is the Chicago Shoreline Marathon coming up next weekend on 9/8. Please check the events page here or go directly to http://www.chicagoshorelinemarathon.com/ for furter info.

This should be a great event offerig fun, comradeship & challenge for all. A number of paddlers will be traveling to the event so check in should you be looking to car pool.

We will be at the event with boats and other paddling equipment to demo so please stop by our booth at Leone beach, where the race culminates, and check us out.

Then, if you still have more go, don't forget the US Surfski Champs in San Fran at the end of September. 

Presently overstocked on kid's equipment, so if you're looking for a great deal on a kid's boat, paddle etc. please check in with us and we can make your young paddlers Autumn, Christmas, Hanukkah, Qwanza, birthday...a great one.

Hope to see you in Chicago!
