The creeks are flowing, and I have my boat... I'm so excited for kayaking. I move so quickly from skiing to kayaking, one addiction to another.

yeah it nerve racking when you're first learning but they're easy to get out of. But once you learn to roll it's not bad flipping

Yea, I used to playboat a lot, but now I teach kayaking, and don't get to do as much on my own, cause it's usually beginners. But I've never been creeking before, Looks fun tho.

yeah this is my first season creeking. We are plannign on dropping a 35ft by the end of the season. I'm so pumped for it but at the same time want to pee my pants. Next week we'll start hopefully with a 15 footer, nothing absolutly crazy though, not much higher than class IV
