Summer Fun

Some of us, after kayaking for a long time, dont realize how good we have become. Some of us look at the pro's and think, "Am I still a beginner? Because paddling next to him, I look like one." There is a simple cure for that...

Take someone who has never been paddling out for their first time.

I chose My Neice Kaitlyn

Of course I could'nt leave out my girlfriend.

I couldnt go without my sister and brother in law.

Now the stage is set for either fun, or disaster. I wisely chose a flatwater section of the Payette river that I had been previously warned about. I was told that if I went, I would not want to go in a kayak. They said "Take a canoe, a raft, or something that you can stretch out in, because it is a long flatwater trip."

Yes, you can paddle class V, but how long can you paddle flatwater after your leggs fall asleep, your back cramps up, you are bored out of your mind, and the people that you brought are scared to death. Good thing for run off.

There is nothing like your first time in a boat... (not me)

More fun at the takeout, but the day would not be right without a stop at your local wave.

See you on the river.
