But heard about your guys trip on Facebook. Been figuring out how to paddle from near the headwaters to the toutle this spring. Such a beautiful river, hopefully they stop that copper mine. Any gems your willing to ...

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: BIGWATERSubject: A dying breed. The playboater.Posted: 22 Feb 2017 at 7:28amLike I said I know I'm beating a dead horse. But I think it's funny how people keep mentioning the cold and how there are no spots around here. The Wenatchee and paradise are my LEAST favorite places to Playboat here in WA. There are many great runs and spots to be found if your not with a crew that's racing to ...

Author: itchySubject: A dying breed. The playboater.Posted: 22 Feb 2017 at 12:46amI really love playboating but the play here is worse than everywhere else I've paddled that actually has whitewater (i.e. mountain states all over the US except for the NE). Too many boulders, not enough bedrock, and it's cold. Yeah, the Wenatchee is great and Paradise is one of the best cartwheel holes of all tim...

If your tubes lose a bit of air overnight, don't be lazy about pumping up before attempting to bounce off rocks. Government taught me that🙄.
