I can hardly believe it…I’m going to try wildwater racing!
USAWildwater is bringing a training camp to Atlanta January 26-27 and I’m going to be there…on the river…in a WAVEHOPPER!!!
The first time I saw a wavehopper was two years ago at the Lower Yough in Pennsylvania watching the upstream race that was part of the Falls Race weekend. I stood on a big flat rock in the middle of Entrance rapid and watched these crazy paddlers in crazy looking long boats race down the rapid and then turn around and keep racing back to the put in. I was awestruck. Now every time I see someone out practicing in a wavehopper I think it’s just about the neatest thing I’ve seen on the river.
The clinic is less than a month away. I’ll be sure to post a follow-up.
