#1 Make a point to run the local creeks when they come up.

#2 Try to get more days off work as #1 depends on this since the creeks only come up on week days.

1. Have sex with a porn star.

2. Run the table at gauleyfest w/ the boxing gloves they bust out (ie dont pass out face down in the sand before hand). Thereby further establishing OC1 badassness compared to kayaks.

3. Defy gravity

4. Go from 'making it work' to 'making it look gooood'

5. Make FullGnarlz a widely known concept to be practiced by all.

6. Run the Green race with 10 or so other open boaters and survive w.o injury.

1. Hit the pedal to the metal, at 250 %

this includes improving technique and fitness/strength alike, as well as water reading skills, spending every free minute on the water and teaming up with some pro paddlers to progress into more difficult whitewater

hey gnarlz, I like your 1.

R u sure your gnarly enough for your #1?
Bet you you get a severe beat down in that retentive hydrolic...it'd grab, recirculate you a few times and spit you out downstream humbled

Tommy. If your pretty girlfriend saw that she would take you out. But of course you would enjoy it way to much.

In approximate chronological order:
1. Design two of the most badass open canoes ever.
2. Get those boats into production in time for ALF so I don't have to answer "when?" 500 times
3. Actually start making money building canoes.
4. Win another medal the the freestyle worlds.
5. Get comfortable enough running creeks in OC-1 to race the Green.

you know, pretty typical stuff.
