I recall Ned telling me years ago that if you're open to a different kind of experience you can run Robe down to low 4s.

Yep, couple laps at 3.2 +/-. Plan on some portages. Bonus is Granite Falls at the end! Worth doing if youre looking for an adventure.....not if youre hunting for good ww.

   Ain't leaving you hanging. I have a book to write about what's going on here. 11 hour day, girl calling me saying she has to call 911 for whatever the ever she's got going on so yeah man, different lives.. gotta bounce. Honestly, this is like a sit to chat kind of "why are you yelling, situation"
    
   
   

Hey James/Nick. I'm still kicking. Shoulder is on the mend. Got an east coast trip with my bro, cous and their high school boys in July. Got some rain so the Cheat was running which is always a treat. Gave the boys the full 'Pyle experience. Anyone ever party with Rockin' Scott and the Blueberry Van? Best trip ever (until the next one :) ). Choring around the abode until the rains come back. - B-Rad! 

Thanks for the video Nick! Man I miss those days and the ole' crew. I gotta brush off the cob webs and get back out there!

Great/Stout Ideas -

   This would make for a pretty fricken sweet edit. Especially with a multi day!
   Haven't really planned to have the motivation to take a Ducky let alone raft on Robe Canyon. If you and crew want to bust out my Puma on Robe Canyon at a lower flow... I'd be cool to safety boat with you.    The only problem there is the floor valve has a slight leak. If I keep torquing with my experience then it'd rip the floor out so I'm going to need an expert.
   Either way it would be rad seeing you guys make your way on the river regardless of what craft you use.

Talking about brushing off cobwebs... Back to this current remodel while wanting to work on whitewater gear to replace gaskets, back bands, ratchets, tighten some bolts, replace a floor valve, to figuring out a more comfortable way to stay in the boat

Problems to Solutions -

Sorry guys, but if something that almost ends me do to a gear malfunction... (Metlako) then I'm going to get heated. So here we go

   If I was gifted the tools to hybrid a newish river running boat it would have Dagger outfitting, Zet plastic with Zets Toros chine to a more pronounced bow like Wakas. At least something along those lines. Mainly the chine with stronger plastic
   Meaning the chine shouldn't go almost the full length of a river running boat. The chine going most the length of the boat doesn't allow us to spin out of holes unless getting throttled.

   I also use natural features like I'm at a skatepark so what is it about Zet plastic in comparison to the other brands I'm familiar with?

My current functional kayak quiver is Dagger Longboat, Jackson Playboat, Zet Toro, Dagger Axiom, along with a few others I'm to tall to keep. So, I have some gear I want to purge here soon

Imaging hybriding the best boats for the best outcome during moderate flows

   My mental state since he moved on from something cool has been Monster Mode while calling my boat Savage. This year and a half has felt like a weight has been slowly lifting off my shoulders to something a bit more moderate.
