Southern Paddling
I'm planning a dip South this spring and I've heard of an area called the Obed- Emory watershed in Tennessee. Is anyone familiar with this area?

I'm planning to come and will bring the Atom to use or share. My Viper is in the shop. I would be interested in C-2ing with someone. I noticed the Tomahawk wasn't on the available list. Is that the only one? Some friends of mine just got an ArgueMax down in DC. :) I will send some Pics to you Adam s...

West River Improptu C-1 Armada
Went to the West Fest on Saturday. There I crossed paths and paddled with several C-boaters. It was a great day of paddling with two runs down this fine continuous stretch of WW. I made every roll even in 4' waves and spinninng sucking whirlpools. I tried boof rock and hit Sqr. the first time. Boof ...

I just picked up Jim Snyders "Rip anything that Squirts". I haven't even mastered a stern squirt and I am looking to the day and boat that will allow me to make a couple of the moves in his book. Jim credits a number of C-boaters with introducing some of the moves he describes in his book. I wish so...

Montana Wyoming Rivers
I just returned from a family vacation in the Yellowstone/ Teton area. I didn't get a chance to scout many rivers and the ones in the National parks are off limits. I did get a look at the Clarkes Fork of the Yellowstone upstream from the canyon and it looked like a good run. Are there any C-boaters...

What's a kneeling thwart? I just installed a bread board backrest in my Viper and tested it out on some flat water this evening. It makes a big difference in comfort and contact with the boat. I no longer slide out of the knee sockets, and after an hour I still had feeling in my toes. My off side pi...

I had a great time and enjoyed meeting all the folks. I'm disappointed that I didn't come to Fox's. I did not try other boats, it is hard enough getting skilled in the two I have. Dave M. and Warren, I will look you up when I'm in DC, to paddle at the Falls.. I thought the fog on the river below the...

I was in the comfort zone at the armada. Enjoyed visit with Mike W. I had no problems with the waves on the NB so my earlier troubles are atributable to a long winter and fear of cold water. For those who tried the Viper, would you add one to your stable? I will be busy learning to paddle it to its ...

I've paddled C-1 the past couple of years with the saddle at about 7". In the open boats my saddle is at 8". In either boat after 2 Hrs. I have to get out and stretch because pain develops in the kneecap area. After that I have to get out about every half hour to 45 minutes. I also use ankle blocks ...

Thanks Kneal. Your description is very helpful in visuallizing the moves. The water is warming up and I will beable to practice more now. What I also want to know is given the longer length of the Viper what is the method for catching a small eddie that you are hitting just to the side of straight o...

That could be. I didn't feel like I could maintain my balance and reach aggressively. This may be from my years in the open boat. Then I would just turn the bottom into the wave and drive where I wanted. In a C-1 the shallow chines sink in and are grabbed by the current. The aren't any local rivers ...

History
I would call it more of a historical video. Some basic strokes are covered and there are some great shots of enders and stern squirts as well as a few hand rolls. Its amazing to see these manouvers in a 13'-2" slalom boat. It also suggests to me that there are some opportunities to be explored in C-...
