Fouhy In Battle Against Time
Ben Fouhy, Olympic Silver medalist and New Zealand Kayak champion, has been battling a virus as he prepares for the world kayaking championships, due to start tomorrow in Hungary.
Fouhy relocated to the Northern Hemisphere earlier this year for the summer racing season and has achieved very good results in recent world cup races.
Kayak tour both a workout and a wonder
A good way to see Pittsburgh from another vantage point, and to get some exercise doing it, is to take a kayak tour of Pittsburgh. The Three Rivers Rowing Association is offering them on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings through Aug. 31.
The tours, which launch from the TRRA boathouse in Millvale, are free for members, $25 each for nonmembers. Reservations must be made in advance.

Kayaking can be fun.. but difficult.
Especially if you can’t do it on your own..
That’s why there’s the 9th annual Disabled Kayak event.
Around 50 people joined together at Jordan Park.. in Portage County.. to learn how to kayak.
People with different disabilities came together to try it out.
Coordinators say.. it’s a great way for them to focus on their abilities.
Coordinator, J.R. Wynne says, “the moms and dads.. caregivers.. thinking how they’ve never kayaked and with their loved ones.. in a kayak.. being safe.. and it’s very rewarding.”
The activities were free of charge.
