It’s January 17, white and cold in Minneapolis. But I’ve got a race to prepare for. The Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race starts in three weeks. Today, I got out on an open stretch of the Minnesota River to paddle in Kokatat’s Gore-Tex Front Entry dry suit and to test out the Kinetik Wing paddle from Lendal.
My conclusions on the gear are still to come. For now, here are a couple shots from the training day action. —Stephen Regenold
