WorldKayak.com was developed by Eric Jackson and continues to be a valuable tool for whitewater boaters.
According to boatertalk's homepage, their sole purpose is to provide a place for whitewater boaters to get what they are looking for.
Having recently merged with BoaterTalk (see above) PaddlingLife is one cool E-Zine you should be reading—that is when you're not paddling! Great stuff.
