After a week back in the office following the East Coast Canoe and Kayak Festival, it was time for me to head back up to the northeast for the next several weeks. I left Asheville early Saturday morning and stopped of in Fayetteville West Virginia to visit my family , say hello to some of my friends whom I have not seen in a while, and of course do a little paddling.
Saturday evening I paddled the Lower New River Gorge with BJ Johnson and Pete Isscaro in our whitewater boats. Then on Sunday morning, after a delicious breakfast at the Cathedral Café, Todd Richendollar and I decided to take a couple Impex boats down the same class IV whitewater run. I decided to paddle a fiberglass Currituck and Todd opted to take a carbon kevlar Mystic.

The run went really well and it was quite impressive to see how fast you can actually get down the gorge in a 17ft sea kayak. Good Times!!
