I’m Here!
Well, here I am! I’m Liam Malakoff, a fourteen year old avid whitewater kayaker. I live in Northern Virginia, so my main paddling is the Potomac. My current boat is a Pyranha s6f playboat. But since I’m soon to outgrow it, there’ll probably be several posts about boats I demo, either this season or next. (No winter paddling for me 
*sniffle sniffle*) As of now my left arm is in a cast from a few inches below my elbow down to my palm, which means no paddling till I get it off and the docs say I’m “fully rehabilitated”. I fractured my ulna in a biking accident. I wish I could say I was mountain biking, but I wasn’t. I was just on the long, straight bike path, going fast. Then I was on the ground and a mysterious bump about two inches from my wrist had appeared. After that I had an above-the-elbow cast for THREE WEEKS!!! Now I’ve got this one on, but I get it off in about a week (I’ve had it on for two!!!) So, even though we’re not sure if I’ll be able to paddle immediately after getting it off, my family has planned a trip to asci (Adventure Sports Center International, a new mountaintop whitewater course near the Wisp resort) as a belated birthday present (since my birthday was in July) during the first week of September. I hope to put up a review and some pics or video of the class III-IV course in a post. So that’s it. That’s how it is for now. Comments are welcome!
