White Cloud Surf Spot

level:
Blue at Fredericksburg: 400cfs
Blue at White Cloud: 950cfs

Kevin Hisel and I went over to Indiana Saturday and surfed for a few hours on the Blue at White Cloud. It was a decent little wave to play on. Something different, pretty fun. Would be cool to have that option more often.

Elkhorn Creek Again

320cfs

Ran the Elkhorn after work with Jay and an intern at Jay's work Scott. It was Scott's first kayaking trip. The water level wasn't too bad, I expected worse. The surf wave was good. The weather was perfect. We put on about 5:45 and we're off at 8:00

Viking Clinic

May 14th
150cfs
Clear Creek
Barnett to Jett

This past weekend at the Viking clinic was a lot of fun. All the students did very well and the ones that were in the water alot kept a great attitude about things. We had very low water in the Obed system on Saturday and ran Barnett to Jett. Needless to say, it was a long, slow day on the river, but the students in our class progressed alot even in the difficult conditions.

May 15th
575cfs
Big South Fork
Canyon Section

The second day, we went to the Big South Fork and ran the canyon section below the gorge. This is a big step up from the day before with substantially bigger rapids and much, much more flow.

Cinco De Elkhorn

430cfs

May 5th
Toby, Michael, Jay and I made a run down the Elkhorn after work this day. I saw an Oriole out there and a goose stuck on top of a pole. The dead cow was mighty rotten. That thing needs to go away now. Found a good surf spot at the damn rapid. Toby swam a second on S turn. We took out at the quick stop.
