I had been planning for some time to start a website dedicated to canoeing in Northern California, and I finally got started on it last weekend. To say the least, it's been a difficult week, so I took some solace in burying myself into getting the site together. Sometimes distractions can help, at least for a little bit.
Anyways, without further ado here is the site I have put together:
NorCalCanoeing.com
It's still a little raw, but I think it's coming together fairly nicely for only a few days of work on it. Upon entering the site you'll see the splash page with static content. I'll update that periodically with whatever is going on at the time, but mainly it's just a welcome. On the top are tabs for the blog, the forum, and one to register or login.
The blog will have regular new entries about canoeing from myself and other paddlers in the area. Topics will be trip reports, upcoming classes, tips on technique, and anything else paddling related that we feel like writing about.
The forum is a way to get people who are interested in canoeing together to talk about paddling, organize meet-ups/paddles, buy and sell gear, and whatnot.
The account you register works both for posting comments on the blog, as well as participating in the forums.
You'll notice that there are currently no ads, and there will never be a fee for using this site. All the time and energy I put into it are purely for the love of the art and sport of canoeing.

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing it develop. Feel free to link to or use any of the Canoeing posts from my blog.
Thanks for checking it out True.
Hope to see you around there sometime, or better yet, out on the water!
