As the year draws to a close, I look forward to getting home and spending some time with my family. After the Dubai Shamaal, I spent 2-1/2 weeks at our factory. While it’s always fun to work with my new friends in China, the constant time on the road is wearing after a while.

 

The time spent at our factory is valuable as the quality and volume are constantly improving. I’ve attached a photo of several new V10 Elites lined up in the finishing stages of our workshop. I’ve been fine tuning the outfitting on our ICF K-1’s and K-2’s plus working on paddle production so we can meet our orders in a more timely fashion. We’ll have some exciting new products coming out next year and will be sure to fill you in as they become available.

 

The past 2.5 weeks were very busy. I only managed to get out on the water once, but included a few photos paddling new K-2 Legacy ML.

 

As we look forward to the new year, it’s a good time to set goals. For me, one of these is planning which events I will do and how much time I’ll be able to get out on the water! I’m always getting asked “How much should I train?” so decided to add a new article to our tips section on this subject.
