The Ladies’ Kayak Project Donations to TLKP are now tax deductible! If you donate to the project you will receive a note from the Paddlesports Industry Foundation indicating your $ is tax deductible. The Shimoda Group gathered $500 from you all, and donated $2250 of its own toward this effort: the remaining $750 is due in September, 2012. At this point, the most important thing is to make use of the concept with discussion, experimentation in your own boat and suggestions to your paddling instructor, retailer, outfitter, or manufacturer's rep to suggest to kayak designers that the concepts might be worth pursuing. We have asked manufacturers and individuals to support an evolution of design suited to women by developing and selling product that suit women specifically, and to donate a portion of their profit to PIF to further this movement.
Donations to the Paddlesports Industry Foundation are 100% tax deductible. Thanks for your consideration.

David Yost – It’s About ‘Reach’ Veteran canoe and kayak designer Dave Yost today shared his perspective about women paddlingr rec boats – that they often suffer by seeking a ‘stable’ boat and choose a wide one. They then have trouble reaching water, hit elbows, etc. His remedy has been to put them in narrower boats that are less stable but can be handled more readily. These are great observations. They still don’t address the issue.
