A group of eight of us had another great year down on the Gauley river last weekend! The weather was in the 50's two of the days, and 70's the other two days....it wasn't as crowded as last year, but that was a good thing. They were releasing at 3200 cfs instead of 2800 for some reason. Great time!!




Caught the Fibark Whitewater Festival the first weekend we were out there. All the pro's were there, new tricks were invented and huge air was had. Stephen Wright won the National Mens Championship title, and Tanya Shuman won the women's. We paddled just about the whole Arkansas River stretch between Granite and Canyon City!! Royal Gorge, Granite throught the Numbers, Browns Canyon.....and of course topped our evenings off at the Salida rodeo hole. Probably the best hole in the country....Had an amazing time!



Craig and i headed up to Manitoba for a nice 5 day weekend to do some surfing at Sturgeon Falls. Had some run-ins with some thunderstorms that were pretty interesting, and cruised up in the new ride, which was only getting about 20mpg with the boats up top. Met Steve (from Madison) and his son, and a friend of theirs from CO that everyone likingly called "Grandpa" up there the third day, then the forth day drove up to Whitemud, if you like big meaty waves/holes, Whitemud is the place to get your groove on. So much fun!!!
