I took 40+ people on their first river trip ever, helped 4 people buy their first whitewater canoe, and pulled over ...

Delaware

So I'm going to be working around Middletown Delaware for the next few months. I don't think there is too much whitewater in the area but was wondering if there were any pool sessions semi-local. You guys know of any or a short afterwork run?

When I started trying to paddle whitewater in a canoe I didn't know a single person who was a cboater all I had was a copy of "Thrill of the Paddle" and I found cboats looking for more information.

Icyone I was not saying it wan't a whitewater boat, more pointing out that it was advertised as one at the time. Thought it was relevant to the oldest whitewater canoe thing. I was talking to someone the other day whose ex-husband used to fill them with milk jugs and innertubes and run the Maury thr...

Heading out for the first paddle of the new year. Nothing gnarly, Balcony Falls section of the James, just some class II fun and surfing. Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years and wishing you all a great 2011 with as many days on the river as you want.

I used to live by the James in Richmond as well, what a great place to learn to paddle. Now I'm in the Shenandoah Valley and much closer to the Maury (Goshen Pass) and Balcony Falls section of the James, half an hour to a hour depending on traffic. When there is water the options increase North Rive...

If you are going to be in situations with good light look at the Flip cameras. High quality HD video (720p @ 60fps) for a good price. You can get cheap waterproof cases for them and they are easy to use, just point and shoot.
