Catching up with In Between Swims: OR Review

Catching up with what happened – or didn’t happen – at the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show. And what that means…or doesn’t mean…for whitewater.

Didn’t make it to the show this year so I catch up with Bryon Dorr, buyer for Next Adventures in Portland to talk about what it’s like to be a retail buyer for whitewater. David Weber and I do our annual half empty/half full analysis of what it’s all about.

And, there’s a swim….

Thanks for listening!

I need your help with the next episode of ‘In Between Swims’ – Questions for Eric Jackson

In an upcoming episode, Eric Jackson (of Jackson Kayaks) has agreed to sit down for an extended interview – similar to the piece I did with Whitewater Hall of Fame member Mick Hopkinson several months ago.  To make it a little more interesting, Eric and I have decided to open the questions up to the In Between Swims listeners and the larger paddling community.

So, now’s your chance. If there’s something you’d like to hear EJ be questioned on and talk about – drop me a note at inbetweenswimsATyahoo.com.  (Let me know if you’d like me to use your name or not).

I’ll do my best to keep up with the forums but an email will be the most reliable.

And, if you missed the last episode, ‘Back to the Core’, you can find it at http//:www.inbetweenswims.com
