Anyone paddling this Saturday? Maybe Fife Brook or Bristol Gorge section of the Pemi? I need to get out and paddle....

Hey Duke - going for the easy stuff this weekend. I'd love to join you, but I have family stuff to do this weekend.

Sorry Dan - I read it fast and thought it was Dude. Unfortunately, I still have family stuff this weekend.

Hi Dan - I may be going up to fife this Sat with my kids and their friend and his dad - although they want to tube it - I'll be taking my rec boat down. Fife is a lot more calm now (not that it ever wasn't) Not sure we're the group you want to join, but you're welcome to ride along.

Hey Paul,
Has Fife Brook changed? Did Hurricane Irene wash out the rapids?

Dan - Hangover Helper at the start of the run is bigger, but there is an easy line to the right. Carbis Bend has a much smaller surf wave, and the midstream rock that was great for side surfing is gone. The wave train and surf hole above the railroad bridge at Freight Train are gone, although a new surf spot developed at the ledge downstream. Pinball is unaffected, but the wave trains and surf spots below it around Miami Beach are gone.

The Gap is now considerably narrower, and the sneak route on the far right is gone � filled with rocks from the reconstruction of the road above. The easiest line is now center right. The left line is still there.

Thanks for the info Erik...good to know for the future.

Think I am going to go the Pemi in Bristol, NH tomorrow. There is a small release scheduled.

Have fun. I'm going to do Fife again in a couple of weeks - maybe the 28th.
