Just in case you hadn't heard, the world's largest paddle sports show starts tomorrow (Friday the 13th.) in Madison, WI at the Alliant Energy Center. I, along with most paddlers in the midwest, will be there Saturday. Lots of boats on display and constant seminars/classes etc. all three days. Come join us if you can

They have an excellent web site too, http://www.rutabaga.com/canoecopia/page.asp?pgid=1001
