Things have been SLOW...

With more than enough water for many great runs I have found myself stuck at home or at work, or free but with Kids... I think Cabin Fever may be setting in. I have only paddled twice in the past 2 months!

One of those trips was on the Little River at 4.5ft. That is a VERY high level and was super pushy. No injuries but Jesse was shoved to the bottom of the river in the Elbow rapid. I didn't run it after watching that.

The other run was on the Tellico. Testing out a Liquid Logic Jefe. It was nimble and felt safe, but it is really hard to roll at my size. I think I will be sticking with my Salto from this point on. Maybe when I get some money Saved up I will get a new Salto Evolution. The other exciting part about this run was the other demo I had...a new 2010 Allstar. I have been struggling with my current playboat for some time and the new Allstar was a relief. After a short demo I was sold and promptly sold my Liquid Logic Biscuit and bought a new Allstar. The biscuit was awesome, just a struggle to roll...guess me and Liquid Logic boats don't mesh. I will post pictures of the new toy soon!
