Kate O’Connell from Kansas gets a Star, learns to paddle in Kansas and here she is surfing… by Will Richardson | May 22, 2006 | Whitewater | 0 comments May 22, 2006 EJ, You put a picture of Kate O’Connell on your website last year with her new Jackson Star. This weekend she got to make her first loop attempts (640 KB MPEG) with it on the Wakarusa Wave in Lawrence, Kansas. She’s close but not quite there — any tips?? The Kansas Whitewater Association is in the process of trying to modify this feature into a park and play water park by working with the Corp of Engineers. We are hoping to have this finished in about a year and a half. There is also another video of Kate surfing the wave (1.6 MB MPEG). Take care, Pat O’Connell Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
