2008 Kayak Symposium



Thank you for making the 6th Annual Powers Outdoors Kayak Symposium a success!!! P.O.A. teamed up with Powers Outdoors for their annual kayak instruction and demo day. Over 200 people attended the event over two days at Wabasis Lake and Brooks Lake. Vendors like Columbia and Teva were on hand to pass out freebies both days. In addition, representatives from Old Town, Necky, Perception, Wilderness Systems, Dagger, Hurricane, Native and Pelican were on hand to explain paddle techniques, rescue examples, and showcase new kayaks. This event grows larger and larger each year, so if you missed it in 2008, start planning now for next year!

Photogenic Guides


Just one of the benefit of booking a trip with P.O.A.!!! (The background helps too!) This pic was taken in front of the amazing Agawa River Falls in Ontario, Canada.

Back from the Canada Trip!


...And in one piece! What a great trip we had. Thank God nobody can predict Canadian weather. We had perfect conditions for the entire trip. Lots of new pictures to check out at the P.O.A. Flikr site. Can't wait to share more stories with you...
