Nice new paddle. I tried dragon boating about 2 years ago... I'm not quite sure if I liked it or not, but I'm sure a nice new paddle would have made all the difference ;) I would only write a product review that was positive if I loved the product, EVEN if I was paid to write it. I don't believe in misguiding my readers. And I'd only endorse things that I love. Woohoo! Nice new paddle.

I used to do them in the past for money though, that kind of got boring endorsing stuff that I had no passion for.

My aunt does the dragon boat festivals here and she loves them. I for one, have only watched but it may be something I'd like to get into so I encourage you to write the reviews :) I think it would be beneficial for those who do paddle or are looking to get into it if you wrote review.

XD Yeah, I know NOTHING about paddling! And the reason I haven't gotten into paid reviews blogging is because I can't promote something I don't believe in personally. I would only do reviews on stuff I really DO like, which would probably make my paid-to-blog entries give me a net worth of 0 dollars. :D As stupid as this makes me sound, I thought that was a shovel at first glance.

Basically just contact the company, and tell them who you are and share your blog stats with them (how many unique views per month etc.) as well as a little bit about yourself and the reason you are contacting them. You may never know... I will try and find it for you. - It may have been something on JohnChow.com Congrats on getting the new paddle.It looks very flashy, and fast :) I would do product reviews, but I hardly keep up to date on my blog,

I think a lot of dragon boaters would love to read reviews for gear. In addition to Tyler's comment I could see that your years of experience and your Twitter handles could work in your favour to the suppliers/dealers. Good luck and merry x-mass!

But I also write reviews for technology review sites and that's how I get most of my stuff. The reviews on my blog though are from things I have won, bought or asked for. It's all about who you know, so get out there and made contacts! Might have to share your site stats and why it would be a good thing to have them send you stuff to do reviews on your site etc :) Sorta, what's in it for them!
