Did whitewater kayaking fall back into the fringe?
I started paddling in about 1986/7. Boated a bunch and had a great time. By the time I moved to Montana in 1991 I was hooked and paddled as much as my time would allow. At that time there were still few kayakers in Bozeman.
By around 1996 it seemed that everyone I knew was getting into boating and the Gallatin (local run) was crowded every evening and it was a cool scene.
Driving home tonite ( I drive along the whitewater stretch every day) there was no one out on a beautiful sunny afternoon with the level near perfect.
So, did kayaking peak?
Is it back to being more of a less popular sport where you live?
Inquiring minds want to know.
BTW all the folks I used to paddle with? Most have moved on to something else.
