Yeah, great event Christian. It was really cool to see folks from all the different circles of paddlers we have in Seattle getting together for a day on the river.  We sure could have used a better pp showing though.

Thanks for all the hard work in putting this together and I hope we can do it again next year.

p.s. you should make the picture in the article bigger so I can be seen in the background trying to keep up with Tao.

Glad to hear the event went so well.  Sorry to have missed the first annual, and hope there will be many more.  Congrats to competitors, and special thanks to Christian and other contributers for efforts and sacrafices to bring together the paddling community on the Wild and Scenic Skykomish River.
