What happens if my kayak capsizes
What happens if my kayak capsizes
It eventually happens to all paddlers; you will fall into the water – either purposely or unintentionally. What happens to you and your gear during this process can range from just another day on the water to a major incident. This posting will cover what normally happens, and what one can do to minimize the ordeal.
Let’s explore what the action of falling into the water is commonly called in the…

(tma s3 spoilers) no bc the fact that tim’s last words were a bad joke is sending me
“i hear the great grimaldi is in town. you should go see him”
“that’s not funny”
“i know”

this toy is identical to a toy i already own except it comes with a remote. i absolutely shouldn't. but also. if you think about it. not buying it would be like losing money--
*i am instantly shot by the sniper who's been waiting for me to say something that indicates i'm turning into my father*

I watched hitting the apex and I’m beginning to think Jorge Lorenzo was the only one with at least semi normal parents in the way of how they viewed his injuries and racing like his dad wanted him to stop because of a crash he had just before he started in the championship.
Compared to Vale’s father who views his son has something he can brag about that seems more normal to me. I’m not sure about Marc and Alex parents but at least Marc had Alex cause I can’t believe he was gonna race in Indonesia in 2022 after that warm up crash and the only thing that stopped him was Alex told him not to race.
okay first of all jorge has maybe the LEASTTTTT normal relationship with his parents it is actually insane. i encourage you to google it because JEEZ. second of all like. i appreciate there is maybe some nuance to the situation here, but we don’t know if marc’s parents asked him not to race/told him he shouldn’t! i can’t speak too much from when he was a teenager, but he was 29 years old in 2022. and had been holding the responsibility of the family’s finances on his back for nearly a decade. AND he’s been very successful racing with injures in the past…. like it’s a complex relationship! and i have no doubt some people told him not to race (they didn’t remove all of the tires from his personal bikes when he was rehabbing his arm for NOTHING. they did it because he had probably IGNORED THEM in the past. that’s not something you just DO) but i think it’s incredibly notable that alex was the one that he LISTENED TO. that didn’t fold when the full force of marc marquez’s freakish force of will pointed itself at him. it literally HAD to be alex

TMA EPISODE 119 SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Do you know what’s something I think is interesting? The Magnus Archives is a podcast (distributed by Rusty Quill and licensed—), the “visuals” are all in our heads. I have a super vivid imagination so I often joke that the visual production value of the “show” is awesome—but again, it’s ALL IN OUR HEADS. Yet there are some things that we’ve all decided are universal and here’s one that GETS ME EVERY TIME.
We decided (unless it’s been said in a behind the scenes and I have not seen it yet, I am almost starting S5) that when Tim destroyed the Unknowing, he held the detonator high above his head, arm upright to show what he was about to do. He was about to die and he knew it but he knew he was taking down the thing that killed his little brother and his (in my mind best, maybe more) friend in the process so he held that thing HIGH before he blew it.
And that just GETS me dude. Tim Stoker. What a lad. What a pain bringing, unforgettable lad. Keep thotting it up with your kayak in Heaven—

10 ways to make your kayaking easier.
10 ways to make your kayaking easier.
Over the years of instructing, or just paddling with friends, I have asked the question – What ideals of kayaking you know now are topics you wish you knew when you started for the first time? I have compiled ten of the most common subjects which came up in the conversations. The reoccurring theme within these top ten is paddler development.
How to properly paddle
Kayaking is fairly easy sport…

after doing my usual lap swimming tonight i dove off the diving board a couple times and god there really is nothing like the deep end of a pool. the local pool is 12 feet deep which is deeper than anywhere that i've swum before (that's a non open body of water) and just. sitting at the bottom in the silence and the stillness with the weight of the water pressing down on you and looking up and seeing the lights and the surface so so so far away bc you are down in your little alien world and everything is calm and quiet and empty and still. i have been chasing this for nearly 27 years. when i was a kid i asked to buy a scuba tank so i could lay on the floor of a pool for an hour.
