I am planning to paddle Nova Scotia, and especially Cape Breton, this August. Since we are fairly experianced, have our own equipment and paddle 15-20 miles/day, we need a guide who could customize a trip with us. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello all,

I was hoping to make a run on the lower Mad this Friday (6/9) after work. That's if it's running above 300 cfs and we have at least three takers. Any volunteers? I'll be checking email throughout the day on Friday

Hello,

I've got one tentative response so far. Are there any other takers for the Mad River today? Please email, post a note or call me at 434-4910. Before I go, I need to get confirmation from a couple other boats. The plan is to meet at 5:30 at the usual take-out area.

SUMMER 2000 WHITEWATER INJURY SURVEY

We are a Family Physician, and a Physical Therapist interested in whitewater paddling injuries. We’re both members of the Washington Kayak Club, and active paddlers here in Washington State.
We are asking the WKC and the whitewater community to participate in developing good data on paddle injuries. We have found relatively little information on injuries in whitewater paddlers. The AWA keeps information on deaths or near death accidents. There is especially little information on chronic overuse injuries in paddlers.
For several reasons injury patterns may be changing. Here’s a few:
· The sport is growing quickly, and novices are advancing more quickly than in the past.
· Harder runs are being run more often, and by more people.
· Creek boating.
· Kayak design and play boat mania. Boats are smaller; and smaller boats are used on more rivers.
Our goals for this survey are:
· To evaluate the type of boating done by respondents.
• Evaluate acute and chronic injuries by area and severity.
• Compare injury rates/ severity by age, sex, boat type, experience, and difficulty of river run.
• Evaluate the incidence of giardia .
• Evaluate the use of face guards, and bent shaft paddles.
What other questions could be studied? We’re sure we all could come up with some.
The survey is meant for whitewater kayakers, C-1, C-2, and open canoe. It is not meant for those who paddle only flat water, rafts, or inflatable kayaks. The more people willing to do the survey, the better the data. We will do our very best to keep it simple, and to keep it confidential! Personal contact information will be protected; but would be nice, to be able to call for further details if needed. The survey should take 10-15 minutes of your time.
It may be filed on line at our web site: www.geocities.com/injury_survey, or the survey may printed and mailed back. The info will not be kept at the web server, but e-mailed to us! We would hope to have copies of the survey at local Washington races, and events, at river take outs, and perhaps at retail stores. We plan to collect the initial survey data over the summer, 2000. We believe it would be of use to all of us, and to medical personnel.
Results of the initial survey could be published in the WKC bulletin and web site.
Future surveys could look at the incidence of giardia, illnesses, and travel related problems of paddlers. We may want to establish an ongoing injury registry. For more details, please check our web site or contact one of us. And thanks for your time.

I'm new to wwpaddling and have only ever paddled the Ottawa River under the god-like-rescue hands of guides on that same river. Like a new chick weaning from the watchful guard of her mother I need to break free and find reliable kayakers in this area to explore with. I would say I'm pretty aggressive and have an 85% roll on the Ottawa which if you haven't run is quite big.I have every other week off and would be interested in going to the Ottawa or other rivers if someone was into a 5 hr road trip from Burlington. You can camp at River Run for 26$Canadian a day which includes 3 meals and a packed lunch. I also know great guides up there who hire out. The play wholes on the Ottawa are outstanding and the challenge endless. E-mail me cause I want to paddle.
Also, does anyone want to sell a Wavesport xxx. I have a SM Lotus for sale too.
