White water rafting veteran taking the plunge into white water kayaking.
I'm pretty new to kayaking, started this summer and got a few river trips in. I've been working my butt off in the pool this winter. Got a roll working on bomb-proofing it.
Going to be going through Guide-Training this spring in the Poconos

Hey I saw u were looking at doing guide training just wanna throw you my two cents and tell you North Country Rivers in Maine has the best Guide Training program on the East Coast. We are doing training in May and June so two chances to get your liscense. Check out our web page www.northcountryrivers.com
I'm just busting on you. I had a new fun and I sold it. It was smaller then my classic 4 fun. I prefer to have the additonal volume, I'm more of a river runner then a player. My BF has a new 4 fun and that is too big on me. And I can't sit in the classic fun without cramping up.
Did you just say I have a big ass? That's not nice. ; )
I have a classic 4Fun which is smaller then the new one but I'm not a littler girl... I have a 34" inseam... and a big ass.
I've been going to the PCC pool sessions. They are easy for me to get to, cause I am at my BF's house most weekends.

Kewl, good company. They take good care of their guides. If you want to go out to the Yough, lemme know. Do you ski or board?

Yep, 1986-2007, now I work on the Yough. Got tired of the politics at Pococno Whitewater.
