Symposium paddling

It is the time of year when the northern Hemisphere is on kayaking overdrive. At present there is a symposium happenning nearly every weekend. The photo above is from the Nigel Dennis Kayaks Symposium that happens every May. It is usually the first of the year kicking off the season. The NDK symposium is an Intermediate-Advanced event with lots of rough water classes.

A good list of the symposiums throughout the year can be found on kayakwisconsin.net. This is not the complete list but gives you some ideas. It is incredible that there is a network of sea kayakers to support all of these events. It just shows how strong the industry has become.
