Brent Reitz has started a blog (or blogwise updates) at WildSprint.com. It is mostly about his forward stroke clinics, and, under resources you can find several articles related to paddling technique, training and racing.

SandyBottom aka Dawn Stewart has redesigned her blog SandyBottom's Sea Kayaking and Kruger Paddling Adventures.

The Challenge is over and the blog is changing its focus to stories and lessons learned and to training for new paddling adventures.
Paddle Log, UK based sea kayaking blog, covers preparation, training, and a report from paddling Devizes to Westminster 2006 Marathon.
And, the newest article from surfski.info: The V10 Story - computer design plots, pictures from building the hull and deck plugs, venturi drain, etc. Fascinating! Finally, pictures of the new V10L with the low volume nose.
