WISTER WAVE

plus the poop

[rickyrod]

There is some buzz about it on boater talk. Something about wister wave looks good for Okl. and someone said hell looks good for just about anywhere. so fish put that in your pipe and smoke it with me.

It might look good, but what about the smell? All Jokes aside, with its amazing feature and being so strategically placed between the white water of the Appalachians, and all the wonders of the west, Wister Oklahoma is the new white water Mecca of North America.

Where are you guys reading all this stuff at about Wister?...post the links...i wanna read about it...We are very fortunate to have found a gem like Wister, regardless of anything...I feel lucky to be so close to it...I hope to see more of you out there this weekend... it is an awesome site to see the skills that people have when they really get a chance to use them! And this is the perfect place to use them...most definitely!

Found out that right here in heavener is the last true faultline in okl. in my opinion that why he have it good. water quality means very little when you can have these kind of flows all year around. plus 20 miles upstream is the cleanest unpolluted stream in okl. no chicken houses till it hits the poteau river system. If you want a clean wave the size of wister but not as constant thats only 20 min. away on the upper mnt. fork. If you havnt seen the toilet bowl rapid at flows aroun 15000 your missing out and clean. just alil prob with access.

That's because there's hardly ever any big water or creek boating. :)

But seriously, I am not trying to put down Wister. It looks like it can hang with the big waves anywhere - a world class spot fo sho. Just pointing out that while Wister is truly great, OK is not the "new Idaho" until it has hundreds of miles of big time whitewater that run at least half of the year. To steal a phrase from Lloyd Bentsen, gentlemen, I've paddled in Idaho, and Oklahoma is no Idaho...

I will check it out fo sho...I agree with Fish about it not being anything close to Idaho, but as far as "waves" go, this is one of the finest...and it's in my backyard, so no complaints from me!

I think Wister Wave should be renamed Idahoma.

I also think Spanke is the Francisco Pizarro of playboating.

I don't know what that means so I'm taking it as a compliment. Far Past Gone and myself are debated moving away from the ozarks for some actually decent whitewater in Oklahoma. If anyone knows of any good apartments in wister please post.

Yea, so about that water quality. Can i say, Wister wave = wet, wonderful, and worth worry.

My playboat always rubs the outside of my ankles but this time, one got a lil infected...

yet and say "yea it's a nice wave, but the water is just
too dirty for me"
