End of Spring

Its been a while since I last did an update, due to the end of the school year, finals, and moving back home to Georgia for the summer.  I had no time to do any updates, but I did get to go do some good boating a few times in there.

I'll start with Paddlefest, which took place in and around duck pond, on ASU campus. This was the first time I have been able to go, and it was a fun event with relay races, a throwbag competition, rolling competiton, and other events, most of which my good buddy Ty and I took 1st place in. Chan came up in the van with some new Pyranha Burns and Molans  for demo on the pond. There is only so much you can do to test out a boat in a tiny pond but the Molan was fun to throw around in the flatwater for sure. Everyone else had fun paddling and showing some people who had never been in boats before the basics.

I'd also like to shout out to Outdoor Programs who supplied loads of raffle prizes for the event, almost everyone went home with something!

After a fun night chilling with everyone in town for the festival, Me Chan and Mac headed down to eternity hole, where we met up with Paul Jay and Colin for a surf session and to test out the new Molan for real.  I gotta say I liked it, it was definetly a very fast boat and also popped really high.  I have never been much of a playboater at all, but I finally got my loop dialed in this session, it was awesome.

After a night in Cullowhee, we all headed to the Green for Jerry's baddle. Jay was the only one of us to race, I wished I had thought about it and done it cause its a super cool event.  The race was also Jay's first time running the monkey, he had an iteresting line for sure but it all worked out. He has since run it clean!

You can see me cheering him on real loudly on the bank

Jay, by the way you scared the shit out of your dad. 

Colin was going back to Boone, se me and Mac caught up with Will Selle for some overflow laps on sunday, rounding out the weekend. Overflow was juicy when we got there around 2ft, but dropped to around 1.4 by the end of our second lap. It was a super nice day, overflow is a great creek. That concludes the weekend!  Next up, Raven Fork at 17 inches trip report and more!
