wall slammer
take care to miss the wall tho...
I watched my buddy Al in front of me take a nice comfortable line, and I thought, well, what the hell, that looks easy. So I relaxed, way too much...got a little to close to the wall and bounced pretty quickly right into the wall leaning the wrong way bow upstream - bottom of boat against the wall - not moving at all. I had to duck as my buddy Jerry, following my lead, sailed past me upside down. So I'm pinned, ripping my paddle back and forth to try to at least move along the rock. Flipped over to try a roll, but ended up coming up in a similar position, but a bit more battered. Flipped over again and broke my paddle pushing it against the wall - swam. Pleasant swim over a little pour over - as my buddies below collected Jerry's stuff and mine.
Paddled the rest with hand paddles. Actually - that was fun. Take out your hand paddles after wall slammer. Great workout.
