Why Paddling Is The Best Antidote To Climate Change Despair | I sometimes struggle to justify my seemingly selfish outdoor pursuits, my obsession with the obscure and anachronistic art of paddling in a world that is facing an environmental crisis of mind-blowing proportions.

I mean, there’s disturbing news out there, stories that ought to be plastered all over the headlines but are usually buried in the back pages. Like the fact that global wildlife populations have dropped by over 70% since 1970.

And I won’t even get into climate change, how much catastrophic warming is already locked in no matter how much we change our habits now. Shortly before he died, Stephen Hawking predicted we have 100 years to colonize other planets or face extinction.

Meanwhile, in the face of all these existential threats, our culture is in total denial. Oil exploration is booming. Environmental regulations are being shredded. The Paris climate agreement, our last great hope, however toothless, may be on the rocks. The chasm between the severity of the problem and the comparative business-as-usual state of news and politics and everyday life is staggering. To paraphrase the environmental journalist Wen Stephenson, we are all navel gazing while the planet burns.

Fishing Kayak Review: Vibe Hydra 130 | The current landscape for fishing kayaks is dominated by pedals and motors, but a throwback paddle kayak may be the most important new boat of the year. While the technology, weight and price of fishing kayaks is on the rise, many anglers are asking for a simple, paddle-power kayak that won’t break the bank. Vibe delivered with the Hydra 130.

Vibe’s Hydra 130 is its first new paddle-focused kayak in a decade. But just because the Hydra is all about paddling doesn’t mean it’s not a serious fishing machine.

Starting in the bow, the Hydra has two rubber flaps that serve as horizontal rod holders. When I lay rods down on the deck, the flaps secure the rod tips to keep the rods in place. Between the rod tip protectors is a bungee that holds the paddle blade when I lay the paddle on the deck. The rod and paddle stagers allow me to go from paddling to casting in an instant.

A large sealed bow hatch latches closed to stay watertight and secure. Inside the hatch, a removable pouch keeps my gear in easy reach.
