Coming From Richmond, VA

Steve and I will be joining you, but may not make the 10:00 table time. You'll know us by Steve's black Subaru with the yellow and blue DIN's on top.

We will be running the less challenging courses, this weekend, until we get the feel of these new boats.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Newbies

Sounds like fun!

Would love to find a way to join a group that has others with emerging skills. I have yet to try anything but the area between Pony Pasture and Reedy Creek, but don't want to make others have to deal with my learning curve.

Maiden Voyage with New Fluid Do It Now Boats

Thanks to the kindness of Coastals Member, Rich, I can happily say that I am very happy with our new purchase of the Fluid Do It Now boats.

New River trip: Count Us In

Would enjoy taking the new boats down the New River. Hank, at Ace Whitewater suggested a nice run for beginners with mostly class II and one III for beginners called the "Glades" I believe. This past Saturday, I purchased a map of the entire area that identifies different paddles, take-out...
