I really was paddling the stout reactionary whirlpools off the Shaw island topography. You all should try sea kayaking. It may make you fatser. <BR/><BR/>Whats everyone's paddling plans this weekend? Anyone motivating to BC.

Huge thanks to Todd for making this happen and to all the folks who showed! The endurance and team components of the race made it a tad different than other races out there. From the race to the "Robe" ceremony, to the "Robe Gnome" this was a huge success for the Northwest paddling scene. Great to have everyone out on the river on the same day and celebrating the sport we all embrace. It was my first time on Robe in 2 1/2 years. So much fun to bomb it 4 feet of Shertzel's stern. !Bryan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224511473765962245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12664898.post-3024265461921337562008-04-30T17:59:00.000-07:002008-04-30T17:59:00.000-07:00B-rock, I don't think you've earned the right to s...B-rock, I don't think you've earned the right to shit-talk the entire field of competitors who actually SHOWED UP to race. Need I remind everyone that you flaked out a week before race day so that you could go sea kayaking with yr college buddies & their wives? That's some questionable behavior amigo.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, Brock *is* right though -- we are totally gonna kick yr asses next year. <BR/><BR/>Chris, counting the portage is part of the race mostly because it's an inherent part of navigating The Robe Canyon from start to finish .. & because efficient portaging as a team is an actual skill that can be developed & applied outside of race day.Todd Gillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365983274794966615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12664898.post-27689951355416378232008-04-30T15:50:00.000-07:002008-04-30T15:50:00.000-07:00Super fun day on the river, Ive been waiting a whi...Super fun day on the river, Ive been waiting a while to route that run like that.
