The new Oru Kayak: Beach
An all-new kayak from Oru Kayak, Beach. It’s the easiest collapsible boat in the world to put together, taking just three minutes. Its 28" width makes it stable and comfortable. The open cockpit makes entry a breeze, for paddlers of all shapes and sizes. I love the design and it looks like there are tons…

Tal F commutes to NYC on a bicycle and has done so for years. He decided to shake things up and use a kayak to commute into work — and not just any kayak, an Oru Kayak. Tal F, on his excellent blog: Predictably, the process of setting up and dismantling the boat in Manhattan…

Magic Hour from Oru Kayak
I paddled for about an hour last night on the way home from work. I think I’m starting to get used to this routine. Of course, there is a square crop.

Observations from the first two years of kayaking
I’ve been kayaking for two years and one month. My first post about kayaking is a sprawling post about my first two paddles but one that I’m really happy I wrote and published. In it I show exactly the types of things a new paddler worries about; falling in, being cold, getting in and out…

I’m a kayaker
Last weekend, for the first time in my life, I went kayaking! I loved it so much, I went again the next day. For the last few months I’ve spent a lot of time reading, watching videos, listening to podcasts — all about paddling. And I have to say that so much of that information…

First paddle of 2016
The call of the wild is strong. I’ve been working from home this week as we’ve decided to close our shared office space in Scranton. Nice weather pulls me outdoors. When I’m working downtown, and the weather is above freezing, I am pulled towards going for a short jaunt to shoot photos of local buildings.…

Paddling White Oak Pond in July
Last paddling season I managed to squeeze a paddle in a few times per week. Perhaps I did this because it was new to me (last year was my first time kayaking) and I didn’t mind folding and unfolding the Oru 8 times a week. This season I’ve gotten out a little less so as…
