Playak News Flash

Our famous News Flash informs tens of thousands of paddlers around the world about the most popular paddling news each day. Playak editors hand-pick the best headlines 24/7, and those that are viewed most by our readers are sent out in the News Flash. Each Friday, we send out the Weekly Digest (instead of the daily News Flash), containing the top headlines of the past 7 days, as well as the most popular videos and forum topics, plus a list of upcoming events.

Playak News Flash - October 27, 2019
The world's latest paddling headlines.
Palm Blogs Destination Guide: Zambezi River
Palm Blogs - The Zambezi is probably the best big volume class 3-4 run in the world. Yes I did say class 3-4. I know everyone has seen all the photos and videos of Number 9 and the Minus Rapids and thinks the Zambezi is nothing but full on class 5. Aside from Number 9 (which is the easiest portage in the world) the normal rafting run is class 3-4. In high water Number 7 is 4+ but easy to walk around if you don’t fancy it.
Jackson Kayak Lights
Jackson Kayak - This year I decided I would add another safety feature and make my night fishing trips more user friendly. I wrote down and brainstormed many ways to check all the boxes I had for what I was looking for.
Jackson Kayak Deep Creek, Idaho
Jackson Kayak - Here in Southern Idaho, we don’t really have much in the way of creeks and runnable waterfalls. Most of our rivers are bigger and relatively high volume. I guess that’s why for a few weeks during the spring and fall, many of the locals drive out to the small town of Buhl, Idaho to run Deep Creek.
