Yesterday I went down to the New River outside of Fayetteville and park and played at Lower Rail Road. The level was 8 ft even on the Thumond gauge. Bryan and Tanya paddled also. The level was good and the spot was a fast wave hole that was more of a hole. At this level the left cartwheels were really fun and fast and the right blunts were really hard and I had a tendency to blunt on my head. We all thought the water was super cold. I forgot to bring my IR skull cap so my head was freezing. It was still another good day on the river. Now all I want is a WARM day on the river, so my head won't feel like this:confused:

I am super stoked on the designs at Wavesports. Have you seen the lastest Wave Sport Surf Kayak, "The Flyer"
I am using Honesty's log in. -Luke
I haven't paddled it yet, but i think it looks awesome. We were messing around with it at skook, whetung, stuart muntsey, james, me and a friend but i never tried it. My friend did manage to eddyline cartwheel the nose into a new shape when he was trying to cut out onto the wave:p It's fine though, and looks like it carves like a demon. check out these pictures - you should stick em up on your site

Stuart had the sickest flipturn ever - check out how high he is! Gotta be careful with those edges though, james had a hurt hip and decided he'd take it easy in the surf kayak, and had the sickest wathunk ever screamin down full speed and carving to the right but relaxed his edge by accident i guess, it looked painful.
thats sweet though, i think wavesport looks better this year than the last 5 years combined. are the bri(y)ans on wavesport now too?

That is totally weird about not seeing all the posts and not seeing them before. I don't know what the problem might have been....... The reason I want to catch up with Drew W. is because I could help him sell his shots through the Local Paddler gallery, but I need his email. So that when someone is interested in a shot then he or she can click on the red font that says "HI-RES INTEREST" below the picture and it will default to his email. I do this with a bunch of paddlers already on the gallery.
Do you know anyone that may have his email?
