Ozark Mtn & Dynamic Earth put-on an Awesome Weekend! by Will Richardson | Apr 5, 2006 | Whitewater | 0 comments By Stephen Wright. Learn more about Stephen. April 5, 2006 After making the long drive from Rock Island to Arkansas, I had the opportunity to boat some fun water with some of the nicest people I’ve met. The Ozark Mountain Paddlers club out of Missouri put-on a weekend of clinics yearly to teach people how to kayak, get away from Missouri (to Arkansas), and enjoy a weekend camping with friends. I don’t know the exact numbers, but there were more than sixty students broken-up into many groups. I had the pleasure of teaching 2 groups in 2 days on the Mulberry River. We worked-on playboating fundamentals, some strokes work, and bombproofing rolls. Over-all a great weekend with nice people. James and Matt from Dynamic Earth–our very cool dealer in Missouri–were there with tons of demos. These guys are PSYCHED to kayak and are experts on all Jackson boats. James was very excited to be able to paddle his brand-new green super star this weekend. The verdict? "this boat is the best kayak I’ve ever had. It surpassed my expectations!", said James after 3 days paddling it. These guys are into selling the sport of kayaking–they only brought Demo boats for the weekend, and spent lots of time getting people into the right boats. I was extremely impressed with their passion to help people enjoy kayaking!
