fitness paddling: exercise, train, race by kayak & canoe

FurledSails provides a weekly sailing podcast focusing on cruising and recreational sailing. A couple of weeks they featured a very interesting and a very long, almost 1 hour, interview with Steve Isaac, Chief of WaterTribe.

Chief of Watertribe, Steve Isaac tells us about his exciting eco-adventure races which encourage the development of small boats, equipment, skills, and human athletic performance for safe and efficient coastal cruising using minimal impact. The races envolve human and wind powered watercraft that are based on kayaks, canoes, and small sailboats. In addition Chief and Matt Layden aka Wizard are currently working on a trimaran for adventure sailing called the Tridarka Raider.

The next WaterTribe Everglades Challenge starts together with Ultra Marathon on March, 3, 2007. Registration is already opened for 2008 Ultimate Florida Challenge.
