Nine ladies attended the “Park and Boof” class on Sunday that myself and James Bagley Jr organized in association with PDXgirlpadder and Worldkayak.com. We ran Beaver Falls on McDowell Creek, OR about 8 times. James provided us with great demonstrations, on water coaching and real time video analysis. All of the women learned a great deal from the instruction and we definitely improved our boofs. We subsequently paddled the South Santiam, which deserves a blogpost all of its own….stay tuned.
