His name was Luke Hopkins, and I believe his site was called theblurr or something.

...and even though he was extremely talented..he was probably banished from both the c-boating and kayaking communities for what he did :wink:

Hi Nam,

Good to see you're still around! Surprising we've never run into each other.

I can't remember who you paddle with or what you like to paddle, and I'm not paddling as much these days, but there is now a local message board that canoeists are using, especially for "non-club" trips - which means either class III-IV, or very short notice depending on water.

Find it at the below link if you're interested in what there is of a local canoe scene - not sure what we'd think of"X-1"?! As soon as the rivers come up again you'd probably be able to find us doing some little play runs in the evening at the L Seymour.

I've heard rumors that Davey Hearn raced his c-1 with a double bladed paddle until the rules were changed to make him stop.
