Who is this boater?

This single blader looks just like our own Eric Gehres from Ohio! :D The red/white/blue Wave Sport colors are a give-away. Hopefully, the link works :o .

You mean this one, KNeal?

The other question is, did he just go off that rock, or did he get ejected from the water?

Neal,

I wish that was me but unfortunately I was too busy flipping and rolling my Vengeance 3 times down Pillow yesterday to focus on a beautiful move like that one. Bernie gave me a great line in his Godzilla prototype C1 - I just flubbed everything except staying on line, mostly upside down.

That paddler, if I'm not mistaken is the same I saw on the Lower G Saturday in a Riot Air. He is French Canadian, and yes he is very, very good! The outfitting in his Riot is the snuggest outfitting I've ever seen. Ratcheting backband and a lap belt with a foam knee bulkhead. The ratchet straps, I remember, ended up at a single point at the front of the cockpit coaming, crossing right over the thighs and the lap belt. He was really in this Air boat tight. Of course, I should mention that he made all the kayakers look remedial at Diagonal Ledges.

See you this weekend,

Eric
