I disagree that braking/reverse sweep strokes are bad. It may be a bad habit to use them in situations where you really need to focus more on speed, but they allow for very fast and tight turning. Personally, I frequently travel slower than the current. Maybe that is never a good idea on class V or more creeks, I dunno, but it's served me pretty well up to class IV so far, and I'm never gonna do anything harder than that.

Welcome.  The club scene out here might not be to the extent you're used to coming from the East Coast.  However, we do have a good, local club - the Washington Kayak Club or "WKC" - that organizes trips, training, and puts for some efforts towards local access and conservation.  Their website is http://www.washingtonkayakclub.org/

The WKC is a good resource for trips up to the class III / III+ range, with the occasional IV tossed in here and there.  Those club trips are great for learning our local rivers, and they provide a good way to meet paddlers with similar interests.  While the overall club trip offerings might not be overwhelming, there is a (somewhat) hidden club-related social scene that resides more through social network / email generated communication than it does through club website posted trips.  Sign up for a few trips, be proactive in meeting and sharing contact info with fellow paddlers who share similar interests, and you'll likely find yourself looped into some of these weekly paddling communications.

Interesting change of topic, and timely! I felt like sh*t paddling yesterday because I'm off the couch and was paddling super lazy. By that I mean generally traveling slow and using a lot of braking strokes to turn. On a deeper, slower run I paddle that way a lot (Like the stretch we paddled when you guys visited Meryl). Yesterday was my second run for the season on a IV-V creek, shallow with big slides and lots of fu*k you rocks. I'll just say that in that instance, going slow and using a lot of braking strokes led me to run a bunch of sh*t sideways. Not that either way is wrong, perhaps just a situational difference..that and I'm way out of shape.
