Some types of paddling were difficult to categorize, but surf kayaking
has been put in with whitewater. I'm not sure where Tsunami Rangers
and other storm paddlers should post...Y'all appear to be downright
crazy (to many of us) and should post wherever you want to. <G>

You were just ahead of your time, Bob. There are 2 1/2 or 3 times as
many messages nowadays. That helps.

Several of us thought that ocean kayakers (in particular) would object
to the "flatwater" name.

Going back to lurking now... Wes Boyd is the wordsmith and  I hereby
appoint him "Diplomatic Envoy to Paddlewise."
