Re: Dropping Big Stouts
Off topic a little but....What if there was an open boat first D of the Stikine? For me, the Stikine is the epitome of high level river running. It's a huge accomplishment...tough, big water, committing, difficult and/or portages in some cases. For me, that is a bigger and badder accomplishment than...

Cheeks...all the 'wood lovers' (ha) are gonna hate me for this but...2-3 hundred bucks for a paddle that you A) might lose, B) might break or C) will need some refurbishing at some point? I like the look of the wood paddle and can't argue that it isn't warmer than synthetic ones but my AB Edge has b...

It's not really the bag....its if you know how to use it. A swiftwater rescue class if priceless. 55ft isn't enough line? You're paying out line and it's being eatin' up quickly...grab your buddy's bag and 'biner them together..bam! Now you've got 110 or 130 feet of line. Keep a carabiner handy and ...

That was some great stuff! That river looks very inviting...loved the clarity of the water, even as it was screaming by during the surf at the end, you can see the rocks beneath...reminiscent of my first ALF. I paddle in PA mostly and most of our stuff is brown when it's running. Oh yeah, I called t...

Good stuff, brosepher
Single-bladin' it with the yakkers...hopefully you taught those dudes a few things...oh wait, that's the Seilers...they belch more gnar than we could ever hope to see. Looked like fun, man. I'll tell you what, I'm game for the Upper G any time. I cleaned out the Lower and was feelin' the flow. I was...

Good call for posting
Jeff, I think it's awesome you posted about the paddle. I'm not saying that Core paddles suck, but I'm glad that you saved the rest of us from investing in these early models. We are the only ones who can police the new gear and rule out the good from the bad....I think it's our responsibility to do...

Dude...That is NO GOOD!
Here's an argument for not paying big bucks for a paddle. They will break! Now, having said that, check my Auabound Edge that I've had for a little more than two years and have used it and only it...HEAVILY. Scrapes and scratches...check. But I've got no water in it, the T-grips has a great, comfy d...

Perhaps there is an Upper Gauley run in my future
Wayne...we'll see how the weekend plays out. I'm game for an Upper Run if the crew is solid and I'm feeling it.
