Im 14 years old and my parents own a rafting company in western north carolina. Ive paddled for about 8 years and im determined to be the youngest person to run the Green River Narrows. The only problem is, I am having trouble figuring out what the youngest age thats been down it is. Ive found a Jr that goes to duke made it to gorrila and broke his elbow. im looking to run it without any mishaps or injuries. I hope i can occomplish this goal in life. I dont get to paddle lots of differents rivers because my parents work so much but i do paddle every day. I've ran the pigeon, Upper Green, Nantahala, French Broad(Home River), and next week im running the ocoee and the next time the Nolichucky runs ill be on it. The Biggest river that im paddling in 2008 will be the Cheoa in august. Wish Me luck to complete this goal.

feedback You have already missed your goal. I believe Pat Keller and Dane Jackson have done it that young, I don't know TonyRobinson New
note I think Pat won the shortboat  at 15,Dane Jackson was only 12or 13 on his first run.   sprinkle New
