A pretty great crew show up for Kiffy's Jim Rada Race. The weather was great, the company was great, and the race was great with two exceptions. Number one would be Brian Aho breaking his leg and ankle from a piton off of Manabezho just to the right of center. Number two would be me pitoning on the same drop, but taking a left line. We both penciled in and hit bottom. With the great crew of people that were boating that day, as a true group effort, we safely got Aho out of the gorge below the falls to the ambulance.
Just out there enjoying myself! I started out sea kayaking about 7 or 8 years ago, and stepped it up a bit about 5 years ago and well, needless to say, i dont have the sea kayak anymore and i can't stop chasing whitewater!
