Hey all-
I recently moved to Seattle from Portland, and am looking for a new crew of paddle buddies.
In Portland, I was running the upper clack, middle white salmon, bull run, and the sandy river gorge (2x). I recently finished a multi day on hell's canyon in Idaho, which was a blast, I'd highly recommend it.
Class III+ is my class fun, but I'm always happy to paddle something mellower and work on skills.
P.S. I used to work at Next Adventure in Portland, so if you stopped by the shop in the last year or so and talked to a female employee, that would have been me.
See you on the river!

Hey Kira
I actually bought my kayak from you early this summer. Welcome north! All I do is work on skills so if you ever want to paddle the east side of the cascades I live in Leavenworth and would love to get out. Also I am planning on a lower OP mission next weekend to get some razor clams could probably throw in a little boating since claming is at night and that leaves all day open. PM me.

I'm always looking for somebody to carry me to the river... seeing as I can't count on KEITH!!!
We're in the Central District, a little over a mile East of the James St exit downtown.
I rarely paddle anything any harder than the Middle Middle(Snoqualmie).
2 questions:
Will you put up with a lot of foolish nonsense?
What kind of canoe do you paddle?
Welcome to Seattle.

If you want to get on the Tilton (class 3+) give me a shout. There is a crew of us from the Olympia area that kayak it on a regular basis.
