It’s the Jetboil PCS with a new twist - the three stripes on the cup change color when hot! The lid is also translucent, allowing for viewing the contents inside. There’s also some new color schemes, Gold, Blue, Violet, and Carbon.
The Jetboil Flash will available for purchase in Fall 2009.

Want to see the Jetboil Flash in action? I uploaded a clip to YouTube for all of you to drool over. Make sure to click the “watch in HD” link below the video.

Keep your eyes peeled for some posts from the show, some product reviews, and stuff like that.

See you at the show!

Relaxing at Pass-A-Grille Beach

pass-a-grille beachOne of my favorite places to go and relax is Pass-a-Grille Beach. It’s at the southern end of Saint Petersburg Beach.  I actually tried to get a little writing done, but instead I lost focus and ended up chasing birds around in the hopes that I could get some good video.  

If you are looking for a good, laid back stretch of beach on the Gulf of Mexico, this is it.  They have a weekend crafts market, lots of places to get a bite to eat, and four miles of white sand beaches with none of that spring break-style racket going on.  For you fancy-pants people out there - the Don CeSar Resort is just a short walk up the beach.  

I’ve got a video of Pass-a-Grille in HD on my YouTube channel, check it out here:

Econfina Creek KayakingMan, I can’t get enough of kayaking right now.  I’ve been taking short trips down the Withlacoochee, researching upcoming paddling locations, working on my skills, and thinking about taking a American Canoe Association certified instructor course.  

Recently I received a CD from Kayaks and Beyond that is chock full of paddling pictures from the Ochlockonee River State Park, St. Marks, Wakulla River and Econfina Creek.  The pictures were taken during  the annual meeting of the Professional Paddlesports Industry Association that was held in Panama City.  I’ll get these pictures resized and posted for all of you to drool over.

A Few Short Videos On The Way…

chassowitzkaI’ve put together a few short videos of some spots that I’ve visited in the last few days.  Ever get that urge to just drive around and see what’s shaking at certain places that you haven’t been to in a while?  I took a good drive all through the Withlacoochee State Forest, stopped out at Lizzie Hart Sink, Tillis Hill, and Mutual Mine.  After that, I headed over to Homosassa and hung out at Macrae’s for a little while.  I always love the vibe of old Homosassa down by the water.  Lots of people having a good time, boats coming in, others being launched.  

The last stop was out at the Chassowitzka River Campground and boat ramp.  This is one of my favorite places to just go sit and watch people launching kayaks and small boats.  It’s got that old fish camp feel that you can hardly find these days.  

Check back tomorrow, I’ll post one or all of the videos as time permits.

Snow in Florida

Snow in Florida

It snowed this morning! Snow, sleet - whatever. We don’t get much of either, so anything that collects and is icy white gets called snow. We’ve had a week or so of really strange weather! Video taken in Inverness, Florida with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS.

Mullet, manatees, Crevalle Jack - you can see so much aquatic life at the Fish Bowl. There’s both freshwater and saltwater fish here!

Rain at Iron Bridge

Rain at Iron Bridge

Just a little video of a rainy day at the Iron Bridge area in the Withlacoochee State Forest. I just sat there (rain jacket on, of course) and watched it rain for about an hour. Good stuff.
