I am going to write an article on how to set up a training plan for wildwater athletes. I'm basing my article on 25 years of racing experience and quite a bit...
Sounds terrific ... go for it. As starting points, I would say to review the two training plans, plus the general article on paddling fitness, that are fairly...

John, Casey, Lauren Ledford, and I will be there. We’re all USACK members. Hopefully we’ll see you before the 21st, but if not, we’ll see you then!! ...
If any of you fine folks will be in the area this weekend, Chris and I are going to meet at the 76 brige at 10am this Sunday to paddle part of the Chattooga. ...
Rob...some ancient history for you...the 1973 US National Wildwater was on the 5 falls section of the Chattooga. We ran Bull Sluice first, then on to Woodall...
Tom Mcewan won that nationals by the way. he said it was at least a 30 or 40 minute course. no broken boats is pretty impressive comsidering they were probably...
Doug, Most of my training has been for related activities - College/International Wrestling, X-C ski Racing, and Alaska Expedition Kayaking/Plastic Boat ...

If I’m not mistaken, they’re going to be in the Czech Republic this year. Someone else will have to provide the details though. Chan _____ From:...
bala worlds were cancelled several months ago. there was an article on usawildwater.com. the icf ww committee 'scrambled' to get a replacement bid, and the...
Please, lets not take DR boats past Woodall. There are so many places a good paddler could die down there it is not worth listing them AND so many other...
Yeah, no kidding. A friend of mine, Chris Gragtmans, almost drowned in 5 Falls the day before Christmas in Entrance Rapid. Chris, Pat Keller, and another...
This is interesting to me. I'm of course not a part of your US wildwater scene. I've come to think the level of difficulty in wildwater racing today is greater...
Ken, My guess is that wildwater skills have followed kayaking skills in general - up. Andrew, Geoff, Chris and others run things in DR boats that the average...
Rich, that's great info... and by they way I happen to agree with your observations in general. The exeception is that I would recommend that you do the...
I raced at Bourg in 1986 at a world cup race. It's a really fun course. Big but not hard in a dangerous way. There are a couple of big holes to miss and one...
I just wanted to take a minute to point out that the wildwaterusa.org site is working well to help promote wildwater racing. We are about to launch a campaign...
I was wondering if anyone could recommend what the average wing paddle length should be for a 6'00" paddler. I paddle a Dagger Esox currently. I also picked...
The Savage (MD) was a real hoot to race on. It was nearly continuous class II-IV (almost no pools). The 6 mile course took 22-25ish minutes depending on your...
John hit the nail right on the head. 210-212cm is the standard length for Wildwater racing with a wing. Personally, I don’t worry too much about length....
those guys are right, 210 212 is about average for a 6 footer. some euros even go a bit shorter. personally. I'm your height exactly and I've been using a...
Does anyone know why no one uses bent shaft paddles? I just happened to get one cheap and haven't seen these in action at any races. If it is a disadvantage...
I’m not sure. I’ve never seen one at a race either. Not even many of the slalom racers use them here. I’d say that it works for you and you’re...
Hi Mike, I know nothing about bent shaft paddles, but it looks like you've appropriated my four step purchasing program: 1. Price 2. Price 3. Price 4. Utility ...
ok i dont know what kind of bent shaft you have, but the problem with bent shafts is...they suck. ok in all seriousness now - with a bet shaft - the grips...
