"Never seen EJ, what's the difference between them?? I've only been paddling for two year's and love as much info on tech- skills as possible..."
IMNSHO...
- EJ is stronger, more aggressive, and driven
- Ken Whiting is / was a better paddler - hands down.
Have at it ;-)

Just curious, all opinions are valid. But what do you base this on?

I would agree. Ken has an amazingly fluid motion and great timing. He is a great teacher too. He paddles one of the worst paddles on the market but you gotta love the guy for sticking with them forever...

EJ is the better paddler and Ken has a nicer looking style.

Ken's instruction is WAY better. EJ is a wicked good paddler, but I think Ken is better with the flatwater... The only person I've seen better than him on flatwater is James (on a good day... ![]("smileys/smiley31.gif") )

Hey jalmquist. Looks like we will be working together soon. It will be good to have another paddler around.
See you on the 12th.

Looks like the spot is going to change... levels are dropping way to low for any Rodeo show.

We'll see what the levels do. If it drops lower, the beginners will for sure get spilt out and use another feature. Rodeo Jr will still be going and offers great hole material.

if the levels are going to be around the mid 7,000's then will the spot still be rodeo? as a local boater i can say that at those levels, grannies will be the best wave on this side of the mississippi, let alone the wenatchee. plus, the upper rodeo hole is pretty shallow and angled to surfers right at that level
