Any ideas? Will be interesting to see what holds for Sunday. Quaboag should be plenty fluid, but its full of downed trees so thats out. Miller or Knightville maybe?

Anyone interested?

Yeah, I tore up the gnar on Crystals. OK fine, so there really wasn't any gnar and I didn't really tear anything up. But I did get to demo a boat that I was looking to buy, liked it, and ended up heading to the store after paddling to buy the same boat.

So I got a new boat out of the trip which makes it a great day.

Good - that meams more paddling is in your future. It's good when people buy new boats - we all get to paddle more.

Are we talking mamba? You know that's a big river boat - see you up at the dryway this Spring!

Yes, I got the Mamba and thats exactly why I got it. I need a little time to get use to paddling a bigger boat, but once I do its time to step it up.

Erik and I will style the Dryway tandem!

I think the GNAR river is in upstate New Hampshire.

Andy, was there ever any doubt that you would buy that boat...?

There was a little doubt. I had never paddled one on ww, so I honestly could have hated it. But mostly I was just trying decide on what size Mamba was best for me. By the specs sheet, I should have gotten the larger version, but I actually liked the smaller size better.

YES Budz - Please do it tandem - much more stable with two ballast! It's no harder than the West and that Tooth is paltry compared to the Funnel you guys went through.

We went through, but not in our boats.
