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!

I think this is the worst attempt to flame a boating thread in a long time. Don't hold it against me that I look sexy in those shots. I'm quite sure I remember you running this shit over the last two years at this level.

If you come out this week, I'll help you perfect that rusty boof of yours as well. I could even put up a "how to boof" thread on here with pictures, videos, and interviews to make these runs legit.

Didn't you swim out of your old Jefe at this level?

GA - those are the pics are a sorry excuse for kayaking. in fact i wouldn't really call that kayaking at all. its really just sliding over wet rocks. at this rate you'll proabbly wear through the hull on your boats faster than pete can jerk off to life's mom but don't worry PRK is re-opening and you'll probably be able to go over there and "borrow" a boat to use for the season.

You girly men need to get that sand out of your panties and run the stuff! A low water day through the upper narrows is better than a day doing yard work. Upper Narrows is actually fun right now.. I'm quite sure I was smiling the entire way down. It was like being on Big South for the first time this year. I was stoked to be on the water "throwing boofs that splashed fish out of the water and onto the banks," as Pete so put it. Finish it off with a few beers and same well deserved ice-cream and you have a fine afternoon!

I'm not worried about my hull.. If it gets messed up it gets messed up. I'll get PRK to donate a boat to me since I'm one of the only guys on the river these days.. Maybe they want to sponsor my low water antics? Hmm....

no one's saying you didn't have fun but calling it kayaking is a big stretch. i could jack off with a bottle of jergens but thats not really having sex. is it?

[South_Lander]

oh and good luck with PRK. just be sure to ask this time.

Well... I would call it kayaking more than a lot of things that get run on the Poudre. I would rank the moves there, if done correctly, to be solid class 4 "creeking" moves. Hell, I've seen 6 people run both drops (15 runs through both super and whiteline) and I haven't seen any of them run it like they should. It's not as easy as it looks to be squeaky clean through them. Whiteline is getting easier, but it's still not "easy" for people just getting into creeking.

I'd rather have new creekers fumble around on the narrows at 2 inches then swim out of it at 2' b/c they can't get their timing right.

Practice is good.. Come up tomorrow night and I'll give you a beer. We'll be there ~5:30

GA TO CSU good job, you are looking for more water and bigger drops drive north 3.5 hours to this city called casper and give me a call i can get tomarrow off before the storm hits and we can run the shit. alot of drops. and there shouldn't be a mandatory portage in the upper half so get up here.

3.5 hours + working till 4pm sucks. Maybe when the water gets up and you have something worth driving 3.5 hours for, I'll come on up! Too bad Laramie isn't Casper.
