Kate Howell sends in this Ladies “Park and Boof” course photos and note

Hey EJ

Thought I’d write a quick note to say how much I enjoyed paddling my new Rocker for the first time on the weekend, when I tried it out in a class. Nine women attended the “Park and Boof” class that myself and James Bagley Jr organized in association with PDXgirlpadder and Worldkayak.com. We ran Beaver Falls on McDowell Creek, OR about 8 times. James provided us with great demonstrations, on water coaching and real time video analysis. All of the women learned a great deal from the instruction and we definitely improved our boofs. We subsequently paddled the South Santiam, “Hobbit Gorge” which was a picturesque and fitting end to the day. Thanks so much for the schwag JK sent for the event raffle. The ladies appreciated it and James loves his new JK pink visor . Sweet.
I have included a few photos from the event. Photos by Amy Shipman and me.

Cheers,
Kate Howell
