Do we have any squirt boaters out there? I've never run into any before. This looks awesome:

Yes I own one and about five of my friends do but there aren't many in Washington.There are quite a few down around Portland area.They are very painful on the feet and a little squirley to paddle but also a blast.

I know a few guys that squirt. They have a secret spot somewhere on the ---- . From what they say it is better than the spot in the video.

squirt boating is super fun. If you want to learn all about it i got one for sale. Its a shred, widely reknowned for its mysteryability. It's cut for a 195 downtime hunter. 185 and down it will still mystery but be a little more stable for downrivering. 32 inseam optimum, i'm a 30, and the previous owner was a 34. I just reseamed the outside seams 2 layers glass over 2 layers kevlar. A bit overkill on the seams.

and tradguy 2, localism and secret spots are cool and all, but how many squirt boaters are out here lookin to clog up your eddy? isn't talking about your secret spot on the internet oxymoronic?

lotta squirtboaters on the clack down in OR (squirt ranch i think), but nowhere near as many as out east. Super cool watching super stoned squirt boaters do mysteries at the takeout for the Gauley, Bermuda triangle on the Potomac etc. I've been thinking about getting one for a long time (looks super fun, especially when not much else is going), but not a priority (yet).

i guess "super" is the only adjective I know....

Used to be a good clip of squirt ranch at http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/videos/view/132-Squirt-Boats - this link , but it appears to be dead.
