Cold Water Fun at Scudders Falls

Well my vacation from school was over, and it was time for me to make the drive from NY back down to FL. I decided to stop and visit a paddling friend in eastern PA for a session at Scudders. I first paddled at Scudders about 3-4 years ago when i was first learning how to paddle. The day I bought my first boat was a cold October day and my friends took me there to give it a go. I swam 7 times that day in the frigid waters. Since then, I have been back on a regular basis, each time looking a little more like a competent boater. But something very fortunate has happened there. Some local paddlers spent a great deal of time working on the feature there, and it really paid off. Jan 5th was the second time I paddled there with the new feature. The first time was at a level of about 22,000 cfs which made for a great wave for blunting and spinning (and if your good enough then all those other moves). On Jan 5th the level was a little lower (18,000 or so...). Ice Chunks were floating down the river. You could hear and feel them banging on the bottom of the boat. Everyone was very conservative, but I did find it in me to try a loop or two. Ill let the video speak for it self. The link to the video is in the "Video" column on the right.

Peace
