So I get home from being away and missing the Great Falls (of the Potomac) Race -- and what do I see -- Will Lyons was racing Kayak!! He didn't even bring a C-1! He had to borrow one. He only brought a kayak!!
Will, what is going on here, buddy?
Where are your priorities??

I've got to check the event calender more often. Whilst the run of the falls was happening I was down at the feeder canal running gates in the new C2 solo.

Alden,
All I have to say is this...

is a lot less awkward than this...

and a lot less painful than this...
Now, I know this may open me up to some harsh ridicule but I must say, kayaking is fun. Bam, I said it, there it is, out in the open.
PS, I got the potomac photos from

Hey, I'm just experimenting. There is still something sweet about running Sunshine like this...

Wow, so you're running the regular line on Sunshine these days? That's great. I must admit, I've been kayaking a little bit (with and without the paddle) on the Upper Yough this summer, myself. It is fun. Nothing like C-1ing, but it makes a familiar river more interesting.

Say it ain't so Alden. How many times are pictures in your book captioned c1 forever?
I have been thinking about hand paddling a bit...you know, just for demos and such.
Does anyone else find themselves hand paddling their c1 back up the eddy at the end of a long surf session?

will sounds like you are a little insecure about your decision.

What do kayaking and your buddy's girlfriend have in common?
They're both really fun until your buddy catches you.

I'll confess to having taken a few K1 Wavehopper runs this year.

When you live with the bastard and he starts kayaking it is easy to rip on him, but now I broke my canoe blade so I'm more than happy to use his while he is off impressing the boater dudes in his butt boat
