Rating for this product: 4 July 21, 2011

The Werner Carve Paddle is a good basic paddle. Not too heavy, holds up to abuse. I've used this paddle 4 days on the water without any problems.

Good All Around SUP

C4 Waterman Pohaku Wide Glide Stand-Up Paddleboard

C4 Waterman Pohaku Wide Glide Stand-Up Paddleboard

Rating for this product: 4 July 21, 2011

I'm about 5'10" 150-160lbs and I got the 10'6". I got this board to use on Reservoirs, Slow Moving Rivers, & Occasionally Surf. On Reservoirs it's a little skinny and less stable, so it requires more balance, but performs really well. I'd recommend this as a good overall SUP for intermediate - advance paddlers.

Dope

DC Truth Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 14, 2010

I'm hyped on this jacket. It's a really durable, basic shell. You will def need to layer with this jacket, and keep in mind it runs a little bigger. I use this jacket for both ripping park laps and hiking in the BC.

Rating for this product: 5 March 5, 2010

I bought the Large for my 85 lbs pitbull. Like previous reviews the collar is not round all the way around, but has a flat spot 5-6 inches. So far after 30 days the collar has withstand a lot of pulling and abuse.

Montrail Continental Divide Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 30, 2009

I've only gotten a few short runs on these shoes, but I'm very pleased with them so far. Very durable. They were a little stiff out of the box, but now that I've gotten them broken in I have zero complaints.

Merrell Bhutan Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 27, 2009

The Bhutan has a baggier fit than most camp/hike pants I've had. So far I've used them on a few shorter hikes and have been very impressed. I've had them snag on some brush without ripping.

Super stoked on these boots. The boots are stiff enough to give me the response I want, but flexible enough to get busy in the park.

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2008

This pack is lightweight & comfortable. Running long down hills the pack doesn't bounce or strain my back or shoulders. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a change from lumbar packs or carrying/stashing water bottles.

Sugoi RSR Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 18, 2008

These shorts are excellent. In 90 degree+ days they breathe great and have held up on the single track trails where branches and twigs can snag clothes. Hands down the RSR short is one of the better running shorts on the market.
