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 ...
I have used the garmin forerunner 301 and 305 for the last 2 years, and have found them to be extremely helpful. The heart rate monitor on the 301 never...
First up I'd like to thanks those folks who replied to my email about GPS systems. Second, I'd like to raise the possibility of getting some folks to write...
Hello wildwater group, There's a movement here in Connecticut--initiated, strangely enough, by the local village and township--to once again have a race in the...
Colby organized some wildwater boatercross on the Susquehanna Narrows - 3 boats at a time through some quite tight slots - was really fun. 3 boats is good,...
I for one think this is a GREAT idea and a boost for Wildwater. And I think that any of the studs on the E-Coast that I know (like Geoff, Rodney, Middy, Chris,...
Thanks, John. I hope it came through that it's a grand for the combined winner, not for the wildwater winner. (Of course, they may be one and the same.)...
GREAT idea. I agree with the assessment below. Some additional thoughts on a Waka from a big guy are where the hull feels too small for me: - The more weight...
I like the idea and will try to incorporate it into the usawildwater.comwebsite in the coming weeks. My initial thought it to add another link to the drop-down...
That would be VERY cool. John ... From: Chuck and Nancy Brabec <thebrabecs@...> To: wildwater@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 9:18 pm Subject: Re:...
Sounds like a great idea but I dont think you will get much of a turn out from wildwater paddlers because there are not that many to start with. I have only...
I hear you, Rodney. My thought is that some will race in slalom boats or creek boats or whatever they have; and that slalom and freestyle specialists who...
Exactly - if only a few wildwater paddlers show up, but win the sprint event, others will want to get out in a wildwater boat so they they stand a chance of...
Well I think if your goal is to get some locals involved it will be great and I sure that everyone who shows up will have a blast. Wish I was going. Have fun ...
I have to add some clarity to a the personal assessment of head counts at wildwater races that was cited below. The NOC typically turns out 15-20+ wildwater...
The only year I paddled at TVille the river got flooded out during the Slalom race. It was fun. However at lower water I could only guess that it would be...
The Lehigh is a river that is located pretty well for Wildwater in the North East. New England boates are within 4-7 hours 3.5 hrs to DC. 1.2hrs to Harrisburg...
The great Andy Bridge raced in several events in Europe in the early 90's like Ed describes below. John Pinyerd jpinyerd@... O) 770-575-1433 C) 678-357-7843...
