Congratulations !

All of the staff would like to congratulate the participants of this years PEI Marathon. Our hats go off to everyone who took part in each category and distance, all ages and abilities are represented in this great event each year.

Jen Nicholson and Stanley Chaisson captured the top step on the podium for their excellent efforts.

Jen took 1st place for her second year in a row in the women's Marathon with a time of 2:53:22, this blistering time shaved three minuets off her previous best time thus setting a new course record.

Stanley ran a personal and course best time of 2:32:58. With this new course record he writes his name in the history books and raises the bar higher which had been previously set by David MacLellan ( NS ) of 2:39:17 (2004).

Both Jen and Stanley qualified for the Boston Marathon with their results.

Well done everyone!

Banshee Bungee

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to post some clips of this amazing new product we are carrying! It's called the Banshee Bungee! You can check it out at http://www.bansheebungee.com/

One 20ft Bungee + 2 Handles + One 30ft Lead LineStretching to over 50 feet, the 20-foot long Outlaw Slinger can launch any boarder across any surface: asphalt, metal, snow, sand, water, warehouse floor on an office chair – you name it, we send it. The teeth-chattering, skin-scraping possibilities are endless: join the Slinger in holy union with your skimboard, skateboard, snowboard, skis, kid brother, or Grandma’s wheelchair. The 3-strand braid design of vulcanized rubber prevents snapback. And, up to 200 feet of launch at speeds approaching 35mph guaranteeing a maximum of grins, even if you do wipe out.

Beluga Whale spotted in Charlottetown Harbor

It's true....... I have four witnesses to prove it ! During our Tuesday night paddle we saw a Beluga Whale in the Charlottetown Harbor . It breached for air roughly 15 times during our spotting and before long it was off in the distance under the Hillsborough bridge . 

Not a single one of us had our trusted cameras to prove the spotting but I'm sure there will be another spotting documented in the local media.

We are looking forward to another great paddling season.

My trip to Cape Chignecto

Hello blogosphere,

I got back from my first summer adventure, hiking in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park and wanted to share some awesome pictures with all of you. Three days of hiking and camping in some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen and tackling 0 to 800 feet above sea level climbs, he trip was incredible the pictures can't do it any justice. But for your viewing pleasure check out some of my favorite pictures from along the trail.
