Hi All The South Jersey Canoe and Kayak Classic show is this Sat. June 6 at Ocean County Park in Lakewood New Jersey. (About 3 miles down the road from the Jersey Paddler store). It starts at 10:00 a.m. and goes until 4:00 p.m. There will be test paddling of many canoes and kayaks along with clinics and demonstrations. It is a free event and will be held rain or shine. Some of you have seen the video of John Peterson's rolling display in "Greenlanders at Kodiak". You can see many of the same Greenland and trick rolls performed at this show. The rolling exhibition should start around 11:30 or so and will consist of over 25 different rolls done by my wife and myself. We will also have our full size Greenland skin boats on display along with many paddles and a Greenland kayak model kit to make your own miniature skin boat. If you can come, we would be pleased if you would stop by our booth and say hello. Directions Take Garden State Parkway to exit 91 Go straight on Lanes Mill road (route 549) about 1.25 miles Make right turn on to route 88. Ocean Lanes (bowling alley) is on left corner. 1.8 miles to Ocean County Park entrance on right. Ray and Margaret Killen Katabasis L.L.C. I'd rather be upside down in my kayak than sitting upright at my desk! http://members.aol.com/kayakillen/katabasis *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
And a plug for another event: The Esopus Slalom, put on by the KCCNY, takes place on Saturday *and* Sunday at Railroad Rapid, which is just about as close to being in downtown Phoenicia, NY (off Route 28) as it could be without making them re-route Main Street. ;-) It's a class III that drops 9 meters in about 400 meters: that may not sound like a lot, but that works out to a gradient of 118 feet/mile. For comparison, the Loop on the Yough drops at about half that rate. All of which means that some of us will be sizzling through slalom gates fast and clean, and some of us will be crashing and burning for your entertainment. ;-) ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec rsk_at_gsp.org *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
