Mission: Launching DUO's, family members beware

By Billy Harris

Nick screamed, " no no no". It’s hard bringing 12 feet of fully charging
Duo to a sudden stop with a notice like. "NO NO NO", what is that? In the
back of the DUO you’re kind of the driver. The guy in front just puts on
power when he or she can and no tricks the game is the same. However, the
person in front has indeed a great vantage point especially when a boof rock
is available. No matter how wild it looks in the back. Ohhhh all laughing
insanity is going on up front. When I was growing up I did a bunch of
canoeing. It’s very similar to that in many ways, you got to set up the
rapids early, it takes a bit to turn but unlike any of the rest, you can
rock spin, launch, plug, boof, smear you name it. I even saw nick and
Stephen splat 12 feet of DUO vertical up on a sweet angled rock. My first
thought was, I’d take my mom down most rivers in this thing, fast, stable. We
didn’t even come close to flipping over all day long .

I never stopped laughing, well after the knarly slot…I never stopped
laughing. We were heading into the KNARBUCKLE, where this little story
started.

Nick screamed "NO NO NO" and I started back paddling. From the rear you
cant see all that much. Your looking around the person in front all you got
is little peeks. Eric and Dane whizzed past, Dane yells, "I told you that
was a bad idea" I thought it looked like a good idea, "nick a sweet slot
move"… Nicks Yelling meant I was wrong. The slot I had picked out for my
yelling little rider in front, ended in a giant boulder. "Not so bad
right", yaw wrong. The boulder had a tiny little slot where it all poured
out. Then my internal voice joined nicks external voice.

Caney Fork River is really not anything to write up in the annals of great
American creeking. Its not the green or the ravens fork or anything but
it was the most fun I have had creeking this season so far. Get this, I
was not all that keen on going at first either. Then I was told, were
taking the Duo’s. Nick Dane, Eric and Stephen.. At that point I figured,
get Dane to strap on a Rocker and I’ll watch the stupidity with front row
tickets for the day. Well here are some of the photos we took. All I can
say is I am coming home with one of these babies and I can hear my
mother screaming
bloody murder already.. cause after today. Anyone can paddle a duo,

Family members beware. Mine in particular.

Check em out.
