How long has it been since we lost one of the pros in the sport? I have to say I didn't think it would happen this way.

| I am so glad we don't have to worry about that stuff when we paddle our rivers here. Other than the occasional chum shark and broken bottle we have it pretty easy. |

That's absurd. Gustav is in Africa.
I am saying there already is a croc at the bottom of Last Nasty, and I named him Bob. Kyle ------------- I smell bacon |
