Let's Go Paddling!

colinreno-300x199 Let's Go Paddling is a new, grassroots effot to get more butts in boats!

World Kayak is coordinating the initiative, which aims to host free, introductory paddling clinics at 40 "Welcome Centers" across America this season. Let's Go Paddling aims to spread the word that paddlesports are excellent family-friendly activities that develop fitness and community on and off the water.

Rapid Media is showing our support of this great project by joining on as Let's Go Paddling's first media partner.

VIDEO: Rapid Media TV Episode 2

Well, we've done it again, the second-ever episode of Rapid Media TV, our latest paddlesports project.

Watch the episode below—we promise it's a little more polished than the pilot. Intrepid paddler-journalist Dan Caldwell puts the new GoPro Surf Hero HD mini-cam through its paces—or is that strokes?—on the river, host Scott MacGregor talks to Gord Hill at Scotty Paddle Sports and kooky camper Kevin Callan reveals the secrets to a good night's sleep in the wilderness.



Watch the pilot episdoe HERE.

Cheer us on at the Hell or High Water festival Saturday May 1st in Petawawa, Ontario! Most of the Rapid crew will be on hand, armed with paddles and ready to throw our meat in the Pet's mighty rapids.

Even better, get in on the action! HOHW has tonnes of activities on and off the water for paddlers and their friends and families.
