  1. This didn't really fit in any category but since it was with the whitewater school I thought here would be best. Went for a little instructor development on Thursday with Eric Jackson and Valley Mill. Need to work on my hand roll, my paddle roll was off as well so I have to work on that in current. On the Sunday we had a BBQ at the shop with more people and a Flopentahg competition, we belly flopped into a very cold swimming pool. Air temps were 55 F according to the thermometer beside the pool, brr. Yes I was talked into participating, and yes the water was very cold. Doing a belly flop hurts no matter how numbing the water is. Here are some pics of the event: http://bit.ly/IqY0I Fun times were had by all.

  2. No fair wearing a wetsuit...

    How do you expect to get the red belly? Rules are; the reddest belly wins, wetsuit disqualifies. Cheater!

    Looks like you guys had a blast…

  3. I never participated in a belly flop contest before. The only official rule they had was you had to wear a Shred Ready helmet. I was red in spite of the wet suit too. It was still fun, except for the impacts.
