I had my doubts as to whether anyone would want to do the events with the low water, but it was a very respectable turnout. Much thanks to Bob Ward for being the finish line for both races and to Pete Cragg for helping me set up the buoys for the slalom race. Thanks to Steve Daniel for doing the finish timing on the slalom, and thanks to my wife Angelina and to John Bailey for helping me with the Rodeo judging. Last, but not least, thanks to my lovely wife for making the prizes (very nice etched beer glasses). click "more info" for the results Tue, 11 Apr 2006 13:55:51 -0400 http://paddletexas.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=105 Please join us for a white water rafting slide show presentation by Global Descents.

The Heroine, Hero, and Super Hero. For you ladies out there, I hope you aren’t offended that I bagged the Heroine name, because it’s homonym is not a good representation of Jackson Kayak. And the banter would be the Heroine and Cocaine. Therefore the Small one is the Hero, and the large one the Super Hero. Very cool. I also got two separate people suggest these names as well and I love it! :) EJ Fri, 18 Feb 2005 13:29:09 -0500 http://paddletexas.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=97 The 1st Annual Amateur Still Photo Contest The Utah Whitewater Film Festival and Riot Kayaks Announce The 1st Annual Amateur Still Photo Contest Submit your best work (we know you’ve got the photos.)
