Josh's New Kayak
Thursday, May 01, 2008 News '08
Josh Carpenter has a new kayak.
Finally got a playboat this week, got a used Fun. Got to take it out today on the Rockcastle. Going from the Mamba to a play boat that I weigh in on the heavy side of is quite a transition. I was getting squirted in everyrapid and constantly fighting to stay up. Eric had also just got a new Playboat, a Dagger Agent. We were both excited about the new boats, Eric was so excited his shoulder popped out on the first rapid, Beech N. I thought we were going to have to hike out right there before I ever even got a chance to try the new boat out. Luckilly he was able to put it back in himself and actually paddled amazingly well the rest of the trip. I think its time for me to take a first aid class so we will be better prepared, today proved how easily and random it can happen and I was not prepared for the situation. Anyway we both had a good time, we each swam in the new boats, and well were still working on the cartwheels.

New Kayak Joins the Club
Wednesday, November 14, 2007 News '07
Jay Thomas has just picked up a new creek boat for himself. A Bliss-Stick Huka. He picked this up from a guy in Atlanta this morning.
Perhaps this boat will make it's first trip on the Elkhorn this weekend. If the water level comes up, the Bardstown Boaters plan to be on the creek Saturday around 11 a.m. It all depends on wether the creek rises to 400cfs or higher.
Watch this gauge to follow the creek's water level.
And check in here if you would like to join the club on the water.
Josh Reports On Gauley Fest
Monday, September 24, 2007 Trip Reports
'07
WOW, Gauley Fest was awsome! I think we need to have a club outing for the Fest! Thousands of other boaters, which makes a great environment for a get together. Me and Ben and Cave Larry from Vikings got together Fri. were lead down the Lower Gauley by Todd Garland and Brian Sandman. Todd was a great guide and made our first trip a very successful one. The water is big fast, the first rapid is Koontz Flume and when you get to the bottom and see what you just ran it really gets the adrenaline going especially since this was a step up for me. Ben did amazing on the Lower, for having paddled nothing harder than the CBF he did awsome and hit some good combat rolls. He did have one swim and that was at Pure Screaming Hell the last class IV on the section but other than that he was impressive.
Saturday we just relaxed, I hiked into Pillow Rock on the upper and that was as much fun as running the lower, saw lots of carnage and took some pics. The festival was lots of fun, great deals on gear and boats, kayak videos projected all over the fest and lots of good company and music.( Lots of cool Free stuff too) So I've already marked it on my calendar to go next year, you guys should to, definitely worth the trip.

Creek Boat
Thursday, March 02, 2006 News '06
Ran across a Riot Sniper with a hatch for only
$275. I would sure like to have this in the the
club arsenal of boats. The boat is in Charlotte
though and it may be hard to have it shipped
here.
