RE: “Worth the Risk: Finally, a new and improved way to explain why we don’t play soccer,” (

“A lack of social acceptance and the perception that paddlers are ‘reckless risk-takers,’ are not the only reasons whitewater has mod- erate levels of fringe popularity. Whitewater paddling is available only to people with money to burn, time to kill and the ability to travel long distances to enjoy a sport they find fun. Until the average person has a couple thousand dollars of expend-
able income to buy gear and petrol, days free of responsibility and a means to travel, whitewater paddling will always be on the fringes. Let’s stop pretending to only be swashbuckling pioneers and recog-
nize that we are also a very privileged minority. Soccer is the world’s most popular sport because all it requires is a hastily constructed ball.”

“My first kayak PFD was filled with a series of small air bladders which, over time and use, broke open. This really affected the flotation abilities.”

“Good article, except the part about the exercise ball; they do not force good posture, are not adjustable to differing statures and can make back pain worse by compressing the spine and putting more pressure on the tailbone.”
