We are done with Saturday of the Animus River Days. Today we had a slalom race and the boat parade. The slalom race went good. I had an ok first run and better second run. I never got my times or what place i got, but i still had fun. I also made an 2010 All Star foamboat and a Dynamic Duo foamboat today (If you don’t know what a foamboat is: It is a mini version of a kayak made of wood or foam, i make them in wood). The boat parade was a bunch of people on rafts, duckies, canoes, kayaks, etc., and most of them were dressed in costumes. We do a class 2 stretch down to the park where the events are held. It is about 5 or 6 miles. And we just paddle down having fun. There were hundreds of people watching from shore all the way down. It was cool. My dad and i were in the duo, and we were just doing boofs and a bunch of rock spins. We got probably the biggest rock spin in the history of the duo. We did a 1260 (that is 3 1/2 rotations) i think. We had another one that was probably a 900. It was a blast trying to rock spin the duo. That is how today went, it was awesome. Tune in tomorrow afternoon on how the Freestyle events goes. Thanks for reading,
Dane
