Los Tres Grandes del Río Verde

It's been a while since I've put anything up here but the results from yesterday's trip to the Green are blog-worthy. I headed up in the morning with some guys from ATL and we made it on the river by about 11. We cruised on down to Go Left and hopped out so a couple of the guys could scout and run it their first time. Here's a couple pics of Robbie and myself going left.

Robbie

After Go Left my mind was set on Gorrilla, I wasn't really satisfied with my first run having my skirt implode. I wasn't nearly as nervous this time either and was very deliberate with stroke placement.

Spankin' it

I got a little sideways when I landed in the flume and ended up in Speed Trap. I was so happy about being right side up and still having my skirt on though that I was smiling the whole time I surfed it.

Robbie fired it up also and had a good line.

I was feeling pretty good so when we got to Sunshine I got out to scout. After looking at it for a minute I made my decision and ran Sunshine for the first time, taking the left line. Here's a photo and video, courtesy of Mason and Greg (Please excuse the excessive yelling ;).

I gotta say it was pretty scary, but felt really good. Robbie took a few minutes to think it over and decided to try the left line as well.

Success!

It was a great day on the river for sure, and definitly my best on the Green.

On a playboating note, Toby and I met up at the Ottawa a couple weeks ago for some Mini Bus action. we are still compiling photos and a few video clips and will be posting that soon. Till then, later!
