Wintertime Canoe, Packraft and SUP Paddling in northern Colorado

This year I had a longer break in paddling during winter than usual. I finished my 2013 season in late November with Badfish SUP on the Poudre River in Fort Collins and restarted in late January on the South Platte River with Sea Wind canoe. So far, my paddling is more oriented to photography than a serious training.
