Whitewater Forum : A dying breed. The playboater.	Author: imageAK Subject: A dying breed. The playboater. Posted: 21 Feb 2017 at 6:46pm theres still a pretty stout group of squirt boaters in the pdx area, and open boaters/c1 boaters in Washington as well. Its just a matter of finding the groups I guess. Im trying to get into a canoe for the first time soon. play boating is being reiterated as an important thing as well, I think there has just been a trend in new boaters for a while now and the are all getting in creek boats first & soon we'll see a rise in play boating.

Whitewater Forum : A dying breed. The playboater.	Author: itchy Subject: A dying breed. The playboater. Posted: 22 Feb 2017 at 12:46am I 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 time (but it's so cold and the swirlies are hard for newer boaters). I agree that not playboating affects people's skills negatively--there are a lot more swims here than anywhere else I've boated as well (and sometimes they are my swims!), and people's ferries often look super shakey, etc.. But people are also safer in creekboats. I ran a lot of runs in a ProZone and an S6 that are kind of sievy messes--Gore in CO and Little River Canyon in AL come to mind as well as a lot of creeks in AR and the SE, and sometimes I got my ass kicked, powershaded ad infinitum, etc. I never got pinned but it definitely happened, a lot. In creek boats, people get worked less and pinned way less. I also think that creek boats have gotten a lot more fun, except on really big water (and the newest flat-hulled creek boats look like they'd be great there). It used to suck to turn a creek boat, and they were heavy, hard to boof, couldn't surf, etc. A lot of the late 90s to mid 2000s creek boats were terrible kayaks. There were some exceptions (I love my Diablo even though it can't always turn fast enough to get to Plan B if necessary) but slicey playboats did offer a superior kayaking experience, all in all. I think the Nomad changed all that. Creek boats got awesome. It became really easy to charge through stuff, autoboof rocks and holes, catch eddies, etc., in a fast, stable and predictable boat. At the same time, playboating went to big wave stuff dominated by 15 year olds, which is super fun to watch but too inaccessible for the average kayaker. And then the boats went that way too, and got a lot worse for general kayaking. And because no one but middle age guys splatwheel in slicey boats, no one buys slicey boats to splatwheel in except middle age guys, and then no one else realizes just how damn fun it is. And there is the problem, I guess--not enough people know how fun it is to throw down on an eddyline on a warm sunny day, or have long-term kayaking goals that don't involve being terrified. Playboating is great for being able to turn up the skill and the fear independently (you can do either, both or neither as you like) while still getting an amazing workout and becoming a better kayaker.

Whitewater Forum : A dying breed. The playboater.	Author: BIGWATER Subject: A dying breed. The playboater. Posted: 22 Feb 2017 at 7:28am Like 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 the bottom in a creeker. Not enough bedrock? I hardly boat anything around that doesn't have a bedrock canyon on it. I guess you find what you want to see. We ran the Southern Green last Friday and I forgot how many waves and perfect bedrock surf spots and holes it has at 8FT. The same run at 6ft is nothing special. Are creek boats safer? Not if you can't roll,a swim is a swim no matter what boat your in. Many people never practice a roll cuz they never flip over in a big stable modern creeker. You don't use it you lose it as they say. To each their own. Edited by BIGWATER - Today at 7:29am	Professor Paddle	Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 at 8:14am haven't been lucky enough to get up to the southern green with the steep price on that rec permit. 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.
