This may be over kill at this point but I will say that Eli spent a week teachning me to paddle. He is not only a world class paddler but also a world class instructor. If I could make it back that direction for the clinic I would be there in a heart beat.

I had to relocate to South Texas (two hours south of San Antonio) one year ago. Everytime I try using the net to locate white water I keep getting images of people on innertubes Can anyone point me to the WW paddling community for this area? Thank you in advance for the help.

Well I just got laid off........ so it looks like i have time to come......

I just counted my Vertige.......... I can tell already that I really need many more like this (meaning ww oc boats...

Can y'all tell me if GAF really is a good chance to test paddle different boats?

NC Dave, I sent you a pm.

Anybody have an Esquif Vertige or a Probe 12 II that you would not mind parting with? I am looking for my first OC. I love being on the river and I have found that I like paddling white water in an OC. I am in Roanoke, VA most of the time because of my job. My home is in the upstate of South Carolin...

Is the Encore still out there?

I understand that this boat should be ok for the "larger" paddler . Any idea what the upper weight limit of the paddler might be?
