Poudre river report on April 25th, 2008

Good to see some people gettin' interested

I would bring the playboat... it might be a little too low for a full on creeker. I would say the Super Collider is more technical than Pineview... and it does have a sieve/nasty pin spot. The line isn't hard... but if you totally botch it you'll be pretty uncomfortable. Setting strong safety to avoid any issue is EXTREMELY easy.

The middle is scrapey (but today we should have more water than when Scott and I were up at the beginning of last week).

The lead in to Whiteline is easy... but getting the timing down on the boof is a little difficult. No high consequences... but you do want to lean left to avoid flipping into the wall.

How about meeting around 2:45-3:00 at the takeout to Upper?

See ya guys!

Shitty school projects...

That was all from last weekend. Level is about the same. It is a lot different than pineview at 1.5ft.

Anyone up for a car pool to meet at the aforementioned time?

I feel like i have rafted it that low

Today we had some good action. Levels went up again this week (still fucking low) but, we were able to paddle the entire section. Was it bad? Yup. We had a swimmer in the lower narrows and some of us had bad lines at Supercollider. Good news, I get some free ice-cream in the near future.

I do not recommend middle or lower until that damn river comes up another few inches.

Awe, it was fun. Now all we need is Jeremy to post the video titled...

"The good, the bad, and the ugly".

Supercollider messed with 2/3 boaters that ran it yesterday. It's an intersting level for that move.

The latest Chode Report:
It looks like the chodes were out in full force this weekend, runing the Gnarrows on supper high flows.

Can you save this off topic shit for the eddy. That is not kayking nor picutre worthy. Where are the admins now, this is clearly not kayaking related!
