New Boater In The Making

Leah has the been bitten by the whitewater bug and can't wait to go again. After spending lots of time in the pool at Lee Creek she decided she wanted to go down river. After running the first rapid past the bridge I decided it was a little to pushy and we walked back to the put in. Thanks J.R., David, and Jason for the support. Hope you guys had a blast yesterday.

Ryan,

I bet my daughter Krisanna would love to paddle sometime with your new boater. We just got back this afternoon from catching eddies in the creek that's in my backyard. Also sometime this week we plan on surfing the flood at Moro Bay.

Had an awesome day on the river and seeing Leah nailing her first rapid just made it that much better. I can't wait till my son is old enough for his first run!

Man, that's a great first kayak run! I am so proud of Leah, and I really wish I could have been there! By the way, she's also the cutest kayaker of all time. :)

Mr. Center!

Been a while since I have talked to you, but last I did, I recall a nice conversation we had about Miss Leah!

I have but one word for you and her, Brother!

Right On! (hokay, I can only count to two!)

Well done, Miss Leah! And give her a huge honkin' squeeze from the boating community and me, Ryan!

Looking forward to seeing you again and meeting Miss Leah!
Keep Your Stick in the Water!
-Terry-
