Bruce W. from Sioux Falls doesn't let winter slow his paddling. He shared these pictures from a recent outing he made in a skin-on kayak he constructed himself.

Bruce said he kayaked from Highway 121 and Rice Street up towards the city's water treatment area. From the looks of his pictures, it seems like he had an eye-opening trip on water in winter.



Bruce has a Web site documenting his kayak build, it's at this link, which you will pry have to copy and paste to visit the site.

Good work, Bruce, on three fronts: He is paddling in winter, building his own boat, and sharing it with the entire South Dakota Canoe and Kayak Association, just like you should do!
