Is Rolling With Hand Paddles Easy? Is Rolling With Hand Paddles Easy? Mar 24, 2014 by. My how far we’ve come! The set up position is a bit different than with a paddle. I start (upside down, underwater, of course) with my hands by my knees, left ear tucked to the side of the boat. Now, sweep out in a big arc over your head, away from the boat and down, and hip snap. Pull your head up last, as usual, and you’ll pop right up. Next step, get the balls to run a river just with hand paddles . . .

A safety lesson well learned. A safety lesson well learned. Jan 21, 2015 by. John and a crew ran the Gorge and Canyon sections of the Big South Fork this past Monday. A splendid and cold winter paddle was enjoyed by all, but a safety lesson was reinforced by a paddler whose head made contact with a rock. The following photograph demonstrates the solid reasoning that whitewater paddlers must wear good helmets, PFD’s, and other safety gear. The lesson is simple! Get good gear and use it!

Apr 15, 2014 by. 8220;Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store.

Both have a way of haunting you until you settle the score. 8216;s Kevin Palmer tracked down my boat and convinced me, in his own way, not to give up on whitewater. Make the ferry at Grumpys.

Cheoah Beat Down | Kentucky River Runners
http://kyriverrunners.com/index.php/cheoah-beat-down
Jun 2, 2015 by. It took a crazy beat down for me to understand something about whitewater kayaking: you’re always learning. When I thought about running the Cheoah, I asked myself ‘am I ready? Can I survive a bad day? I almost didn’t. When I first got on the Ocoee, we broke it down into pieces. I did the Ocoee Lite, walked Tablesaw, skirted Hells Hole. Why didn’t I do that on the Cheoah? Break it down, rapid by rapid? The Kentucky River Runners. Paddling and Sponser links (Please visit and support!
