Bummer...gots to work tomorrow. I plan to hit it sometime soon...one of the few things close by running at a good level. Hopefully it keeps running...it's been up at a good level pretty much all summer. This weekend I'm out...parents in town. Maybe someday during the week next week or next Saturday?

P_McP - this was the run I was talking about yesterday. Most of it will be easier than the more challenging/swirly stuff we saw yesterday. Chutes will be fun...but they're not really technical.

**smolakian** · 08-02-2007, 10:08 AM

So, did you guys run it? How was it? CMSummit and I ran it a couple weeks back. I flipped above the chutes and got my first combat roll! But I made it through the chutes just fine. FUN stuff!!! I knew I was hooked after that.

**P_McPoser** · 08-02-2007, 11:17 AM

I flipped above the chutes but chose to swim

Made it through the rest allright and learned some more new stuff!

Anybody up for Chutes/Deckers Tuesday or Thursday? Thursday is probably the better day for me. Thursday, I need to be back in Denver by about 5:00pm...Tuesday, I could do it as an after-work kind of thing...later afternoon/early evening.

Flows are up to 600cfs...could make it a bit more...but I'm guessing that's a result of the rains and will be back down under 500 tomorrow? Mebbe it will stay up!

Dude! Call me back already.

Pmcposer and I will be there

Anyone else in?

**FiveLarge** · 08-08-2007, 04:02 PM

Summit, just left you a vm.

South Fork is up to 700cfs today! Anyone know what it's like at this level? I'm not sure if it's just faster and a bit more exciting, or if it's washed out? Certainly is deeper, which is generally good in my book.

**summit** · 08-08-2007, 09:56 PM

it needs to be deeper

spthomson you suck at answering your phone!

1030 at the takeout unless someone calls me to say otherwise or somewhere else

**P_McPoser** · 08-09-2007, 09:38 PM

Pretty much washed out some of the nasty stuff today at those levels. I swam AGAIN eddying out above the chute. So my Kayak is II chute runs, me 0. Swam a few other times today too, not my day, felt off. God some good pics hopefully aaron gets em up soon!

There's "nasty" stuff on Deckers?

Glad you're getting after it. Get that roll down.

I'd like to hit up the Arkansas this Sunday, before they turn the water off on Wednesday. Anyone up for Numbers/Fractions?

I think I'm gonna go climb a 14er with the woman on Sunday. But, I feel like I'm ready to hit fractions. Too bad it might have to wait till next season...I wish I hadn't gotten in so late in the game.

P_McP, you should really come down to Golden. They have a nice big spot to practice rolls and some really nice small drops, eddies and waves at this level to practice on. Just playing around there a couple times a week and my confidence level and roll went way up. You can just take runs and hike back up. Plus, there are always people there to help out if you are by yourself. But, I'm always down to meet up on weekday evening and weekends.

**soylent green** · 08-10-2007, 10:12 AM

Golden is a great place to get your shit in a pile. Even at low water.

**summit** · 08-10-2007, 10:50 PM

cmsummit I can boat on Sunday

You took them so I sent them to you so could get them up... but seeing as in your in AZ I'll see what I can do

**P_McPoser** · 08-11-2007, 12:07 PM

word, looks like i'll be back on Monday afternoon.

**FiveLarge** · 08-12-2007, 07:12 PM

any interest this week?

**smolakian** · 08-13-2007, 11:30 AM

Possibly. But, as always, evening only and close to the front range.

But, I might be down to travel somewhere this weekend.

Depending on how early "evening" can be and how you define "close"...we may be able to get a Deckers run in. Otherwise, maybe some Golden play?

I know I can't get out Thurs eve...but looks pretty good otherwise at the moment.

**summit** · 08-13-2007, 11:32 AM

possibly early afternoon on wed or thurs somewhere for a quick run...

**smolakian** · 08-13-2007, 11:43 AM

I'm hitting up Golden this afternoon. I could do Deckers any day but probably no earlier than 4:30 or 5. I wouldn't mind checking out lyons or the poudre either. But, I know that's kinda far for you guys.

**smolakian** · 08-13-2007, 08:32 PM

I just got back from the park. The library hole is perfect (for learning to surf) right now! Bleacher hole is good too. Smooth and sticky. It's a little bony everywhere else but I really felt confident surfing this afternoon...almost got a spin.

**summit** · 08-20-2007, 04:23 PM

who is in for tomorrow?

**summit** · 08-20-2007, 09:57 PM

Tuesday 10AM at the Lower Blue put-in
