Blog Posts

The newspaper I work for has a cool feature where they post a picture and invite people to write the caption for it. So I think to myself: great idea, let's steal it! Here is the first in an occasional ongoing series of posts where we, the members of KayakMind, provide captions f… Continue

Why getting the crap kicked out of you is funny

I usually have one of two reactions when I'm stuck in a big hole: panic or laughter. Either I fear for life and limb or I find the situation thoroughly amusing. The panic part makes sense. But laughter? Why laugh when you're completely out of control? Turns out it's just a bi… Continue

Day Seven Through Nine & The Way Home

After Ben's class was finished we decided to run the Upper Ocoee again. Not that we were all that excited about being on the Ocoee again, but it was only thing running. We had some fun at Alien boof, but as we prepared to head down the river, something struck me. I'm not sure what it was, but it felt like a stomach bug. I felt shaky and weak, not to mention the fact that I thought I might throw up at any minute. So after completing all of the harder rapids of the upper section I eddied out while… Continue

Day Three Through Six: Amicalola//Chattooga by Twilight//Darn Kids

Who has the energy to type anymore? Day Three of my Southern whitewater excursion started with some much needed down time. Ben and I hiked down to High Shoals Creek to look at some sick slides. Now all we need is a couple inches of rain! After some rest we met up with Talia, Kevin, and Renee to get a few laps on Edge Of The World on Amicalola Creek. Like everything else in the South East, it was low. It was so low that there weren't many options open. Luckily the main part of the drop was still… Continue

For Sale: Riot Astro 58 - $500 1 Reply

Almost new condition, good history. As much as I love this boat, I've finally accepted that it is simply to big for me. In an effort to raise funds for a smaller boat I've decided to bite the bull...
