[bovine]

Doing some "new to me" river surfing. I guess I'm not butt surfing anymore!

[sb]

Lol, good one.

Stand and deliver.

Since Kayaking is cool again after a 15 year hiatus, let's get some stoke for the spring. Roadside in Norway.

Who weee, that a bumper ride.

Soon it will spring. A bunch of canoes in the WG parking lot, they must be cornfused.

Best way to make sure you start early is to never stop.



January at another Maine rip.




And a few PFDs last month on the other coast just as things got weird.

Nice! Below the grange hall on the Sheepscot?

I've had to dodge driftwood and other various flotsam (seals usually duck) but never any ice... I'm usually still skiing in April.

Yup. I had a few year streak of paddling every month. Depending on how much ice, we’ve had to have someone on the ledge as a lookout for the surfers.

Nice evening for some lazy soul surfing on the local glassy wave.

Couple years back in Glenwood.

Nice, when I was a kid I'd paddle my canoe to the end of the Damriscota lake and put in in the great Salt Bay to catch the reversing falls in Damriscotta, when the tide changed we'd hit the falls headed back home again. My fiberglass canoe didn't have any flotation and I think my friends were a little surprised when I'd tell them to make sure their pfd was strapped to the boat. I really didn't want to loose my boat.

Got some nice rides today in my old Wavesport X... damn I love that boat. Does so much, so well.

[sb]

Back in my boat after two years off due to couple injuries.

Lower Red creek and Dry fork in the books, Shredder was especially phun today with a group of good friends. Life is good.

Not an action shot but you get the drift.

How to self shuttle in the time of Covid... add monkey bike to the mix!

[MakersTeleMark]

I have a couple friends with groms on their trailers for shuttle duty.

[hawkgt]

saw a few beefy elec bikes for shuttle this year, not bad idea.

Some fun was had at the local Tide Rip today... old school style.

[Fred Pabst]

^^ Dude...You should try to sit up straight, think reverse c-curve spine angle, and keep that lead arm higher and your paddle more parallel to your boat line. Think more rudder vs. using the back of your blade, ie to much braking/drag. Your surfs will be a lot more dynamic.

Love the old school boats. You seem to have a quiver

Traded all my money for a boat.

Two days after I bought it I launched a 4 day San Juan trip from Sand Island to Mexican Hat











And then last weekend a permit came up for an impromptu Split Mountain day trip





That's it for now. Hopefully much more to come.
