—————-
Night one of the 2009 Golden Community Kayak Rodeo Series finished with record spectator attendance. Usually, on the first night, fewer eyes witness the antics of some of the best playboaters in the state. With record temperatures of 89 degrees and accompanying higher water, the spray was flying through the air along with the schwag provided by our partners! Our title sponsors, Confluence Kayaks / Telemark and Spyderco Knives, along with many other partners, made sure we could be on Clear Creek in Golden, Colorado for the 7th annual GCRS.
In exciting news, Lauren Burress was a new, junior paddler and was the winner of her expert division. We would like to have her enjoy all 3 competitions, but we know she will need to train then attend the US Team Trials in Glenwood Springs.
Of course, everyone had a great time and is looking forward to night two. It’s all leading to the big finale on June 10th, where overall prizes are awarded. As usual, the larger prizes include two kayaks and an a carbon fiber paddle. The men’s and women’s winner in each division will have their name placed in a hat at the after party. Then we’ll have a random drawing to see who needs to find room on top of their car for a second kayak and paddle! More next week.
colin is a dude who has maintained a paddling lifestyle in soooo many ways. As a previous retail owner, former rep and holder of many other paddling dude positions in many of our paddling regions... Colin simply knows EVERYONE.
