FiBark Photos and Re-cap

By Stephen Wright

Well, the 2007 FiBark festival was an amazing festival combining kayak
boatercross, slolam races, downriver races, and freestyle in one of the best
rivers in Colorado. The festival also stands-out with River Dog
competitions, skate boarding events, live music, and the infamous HOOLIGAN
RACE–where competitors in un-seaworthy and home made crafts "race" through
the competition hole and whitewater park. This is always one of my favorite
events of the year to compete-in because it’s the best hole around. Scores
were high, competitors had a blast, and the crowd went wild!

After the event, I had the opportunity to run the Brown’s Canyon section
of the Arkansas with Jason and LindZ Craig, Matt, Morgan, Jessica, and Dane.
I had never run this section before and was BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful this
place was! PLUS we found an incredible wave at Canyon Doors, that kept us
surfing for about an hour. Enjoy all the photos! Now it’s the long drive
east to the Ottawa, where I’ll spend my summer coaching the Keener Program.

Live from somewhere in Nebraska heading east,
