When boaters aren't actually paddling, they are apt to be found talking about paddling.

The "Paddle Talk" centerpiece is the message board, where we invite you to rant/rave, buy/sell, etc. Don't forget to enjoy the Paddle Pix OLD slideshow, the Paddle Pix CURRENT slideshow, or the Paddle Pix NEW slideshow, and the lighthearted limerick contest. Live vicariously by reading recent trip reports, or search the Bow and Stern Archive for topics of interest (dating back to 1975).

Subscribe to VPCNews if you'd like to receive regular email notices during the active paddling season. VPCNews is a great way to stay informed about trip dates, pool dates, and community events of interest to paddlers. In addition, it gives subscribers a means to communicate with VPCNews subscribers (numbering ~250) using subject line keywords "buy", "sell", or "official".

For one-to-one email messaging, visit Paddler to Paddler.

Finally, be sure to share and preserve the memories of your latest paddling adventures by submitting a trip report, or uploading paddle pix to the VPC site.
