Montage of playboating at McCoy Falls, VA in a Viper 11. Enjoy!

Pretty cool. Lots of nice moves there! Particularly like the stern camera view of that perfectly completed spin.

Thanks! It's fun to check out different views with the GoPro.

Pretty cool doesn't really cut it in my opinion. This is pure awesome. It looks like something straight out of thrill of the paddle. Take Carol up on her offer and get to the Ottawa this summer. You ll love it... and probably turn a lot of heads.

Nice video, but I'm feeling like Rip Van Winkle. When did a Viper 11 become an old school long boat?

Wasn't it designed 20+years ago? It's still cool!

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing, some of us old farts would say 11' is a short boat.

Fantastic video, great moves!

11'6". That extra 6" makes all the difference! Longer than the new ones, shorter than lots of classic designs, but big and Royalex...I guess it's something you don't see as much of these days.

You are right about that Craig...A man definitely sees their purpose in this type of undertaking. I have even glued flattened pieces of a plastic bucket to the sides of the saddle so I can push as hard as possible without tearing the bolt out of the foam.
