My 10 wishes for Gauley Fest: by Will Richardson | Sep 21, 2007 | Whitewater | 0 comments By Ben Guska Well since I can’t be there this year, I have already gotten a lot of phone calls rubbing it in, and a lot of friends wishing I was there. Unfortunately I couldn’t break free before Nationals because of College. This is the first year I haven’t been to Gauley Festival since High School. So, I have compiled a few wishes….. 1: Left-blunt, into cartwheels at Geeks wave! 2: Throw a wave wheel off the left side boof of insignificant otherwise known as the creek lines! 3: When entering Pillow, catch the wave at the top, and then head for the room of Doom! 4: Throw huge loops at Hungry Mother and try not to get creamed by the rafts. 5: Someone hit up the mail slot in Lost Paddle…. (Turn your paddle sideways) 6: Of course the Rock Spin off of Sweets Falls! 7: Try desperately to catch a ride to the top to avoid the hike out! 8: When your reach the top of the hike (because no one gave you a ride no matter how hard you tried), crack open a beer: 9: Drink most of the beer, then pour the rest out for “ALL” the fellow kayakers who couldn’t make it! 10: Go to the Jackson booth (or RV), Get free Swag, and Sign up for AW if you haven’t for this year! Happy Gauley Fest….It brings a tear to my eye! -Ben Guska Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
