Personal info: I'm siked to be amongst friends and I cant wait to find some whitewater boaters in my area. Right now all of the people I boat with are out of state (I Love You Guys). It makes for a long lonely drive to the rivers we do. I would also like to experience more of the rivers closer to home. It takes me about 4-5 hours to get to the Yough. I love to shred and I am continuing to gain confidence in my kayaking skills although that seems to be taking longer. Once I get my roll back im sure that will help with my confidence a lot. Right now the motto is "dont flip over & you wont swim". Hopefully this spring I will be the proud new owner of my very own Shredder and I also hope to buy a kayak this summer as well. I have been a boat bum for way to long. I am open to suggestions on gear to get and boats to look at. Talk to you soon
