Greetings again everybody. Though I am still 3000 miles from home, and the poison ivy patch is quietly muscling its way up my left leg, our 2008 US National...
I humbly begin this post with the sincerest apology that I can offer. We had a handful of minor mathematical boo-boos in the overall Nationals results, and one...

I'm looking for an XL (or large) spray skirt that will fit a Wildwater K-1 that I can buy (or borrow).? Anything that will work for rivers like the Nanty will...
..nyah...nyah -- because that's why it's so fun paddling those butt-boats: having NO idea what's in front of you. (Not to mention having to set up to roll with...
See link and info below. The video links are outstanding and I was able to make it work fine with my Comcast high speed link (note: most of the videos start...

Per the original Mid Atlantic Downirver series post on USAWildwater.com I am hoping to have a race on the Savage in the last half hour of the release this...
Hello, just recently joined this group. I am seeking advice on selecting and buying a wildwater K1. I have "play kayaked" for 30 years, and I am looking for...
The ICF has been considering several rule changes for a few years. These changes are now official, and will go into effect in 2009. For those of you who are...
Tom- A question- Will the foot wear rule apply to c-boats nationally (Nationals and Team Trials), or only internationally? Enquiring minds (those of us with...
While we have no control over ICF, I would certainly argue that US races not go through the effort to enforce the "booty rule" beyond the recommendation ...
It is a shame that the ICF is dropping the non-stop race.? I think it is a great process for the race organizers and athletes to work out the kinks before race...
John is right about the footwear rule- I don't think anyone in the U.S. will be tightly enforcing it. We may see a Team Trials organizer saying "If you plan...
Yep, no doubt Tom is right about that (small feet make you go faster) in C-1. Plus, I'm thinking that sitting on my size 9's is a lot better than sitting on a...
Folks, I was looking for opinions on the reliability of commercially available GPS systems as a training tool. I have been using a Garmin forerunner 305 for a...
Chris- For me, I found the GPSÂ more valuable as a flatwater training tool than the heart rate monitor, which I never found effective. Until my tape strap...
Anyone tried this with a wildwater boat? The reason I ask, is that I recently picked up my first Wildwater boat, and it's a C1. Silly me, I didn't realise...
I'm not sure of the reason for the comment 'legally' a C1 is shorter and wider and heavier than a K1 but would still fall into the rules. Wouldn't be very...
Chris, I have no good insight for you - I just joined this group, have to yet to by a boat, but am working on it! While I own 6 ? play boats, I finally ...
Folks, The MADS race on the Savage was cancelled as the turnout was frankly pretty abysmal (thanks to those few who showed up). Please put the MADS Finals on...
A couple points are: - You CAN race the C-1 in the Kayak class because it meets the minimum with and max length requirements. - I don't think the hull width...
I would reccomend that you start with the "training" section on USA Wildwater. You'll quicly note that training for a "classic" wildwater run is much like ...
