Earlier this week Google released its first ad for the new Nexus tablet. The commercial shows a father and son exploring the great outdoors with help from the various features of the tablet. We asked ourselves (and you) what we thought about bringing technology into the great outdoors...and decided we needed to make a video of our own!

WAV Paddling Instructors Look to Defend Canadian Rafting Team Title
Tim Wintoniw (Speers road store manager and WAV paddling instructor) will be joining Canadian Rafting Team member Andy Hill (WAV paddling instructor) outside of Quebec City in the World Cup of Rafting this coming fall.
Tim's Tip of the Month:
"Bring a T-grip paddle on all your canoe trips. Whether you are a white water paddler or serious lake tripper, a T-grip is always helpful for grabbing canoes or people--especially in moving water or windy lake conditions."
