Warmth
During these cold winter paddling months, we need to think of two things…How to stay warm on the water and off! AW / IR Thick Skins and AW Hoodies make the perfect combination for those winter paddling trips.
Safety
We all know it’s great if you have a throw bag but if you are in trouble your buddy has to have one for it to help! So make sure your paddling friends have the right rope for the job. The Lotus Designs spectra throwbag (3/8" diameter 80′ length) is tough, lightweight, and the perfect holiday present for you and your friends. A great addition to the throw bag is AW’s safety cards that remind you how to use it when things get a little tough.
Get them through the draught
The only thing that can make no water worse, nothing to day dream about. American Whitewater has two books sure to cure any breaks in the paddling. TORRENT is a journey through the lens of Jock Bradley, one of the most published and respected whitewater photographers of all time with an eye that has beheld many of the world’s greatest paddlers in some of the most exotic locations.
Whitewater Classics from Tyler Williams is also a must read for any true whitewater nut. Williams has interviewed fifty of whitewater’s most legendary people and written a guide to each of their favorite runs. This book is the to do list for any whitewater paddler.
