The Pyranha crew was invited to the new US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC for a day of checking out the new whitewater park, demoing some boats, and doing a little bit of racing. The course has three channels- a beginner channel, a freestyle channel, and a competition channel for racing, and a conveyor belt to get back to the top. While “concrete kayaking” has been going on in Europe, it’s something relatively new in the US, and the smooth channel and fast water and the idea of just riding the conveyor back to the top took a bit of getting used to. We all agreed that the course is awesome, and will only get better with some tweaking. Here are some pictures:

Hello paddlers Dave Fusilli here just saying hello from PA.  I have been having a lot of fun in my new boats I,ve been able to put them to the test running the Green a few times in my new Burn and sending the 420 huge at the Gauley.  Everyone I’ve met so far involved with Pyranha have been really fun peeps and damn good paddlers.  Heading to Charlotte tomorrow morn with Jared for some racing then going to route the Green a few times then up to the Gauley to meet up with some good old boyz from CO.  Hope to see ya on the water soon.

 Peace,

Hey everyone just thought i’d share the exciting times I’ve had in 2006 so far. I started the year off right by moving out of cold snowy jackson, wyoming and to the slightly warmer yet RAINY Hood River oregon. In Hood river we had over 30 days of straight rain at one point and got on lots of good whitewater. Throughout the rest of the spring I was lappin up the little white sometimes three times a day!!!
I spent much of March and April exploring this awesome Island off the B.C. coast called Vancouver Island! the canyons were dark and deep and the drops were amazing!
