2009 Whitewater Symposium

      First, I would like to say ‘thanks’ to Zoar Outdoors and the Zoar staff for helping create this year’s whitewater symposium.  The 2009 Whitewater Symposium was the first I ever attended.  If you have an interest in whitewater sports and it’s continued growth in the future,  this is an event you definitely should consider attending next year.  Personally, I instructed a creeking class and presented ‘Demshitz The Movie.’  I had the opportunity to learn from several presentations covering current issues ranging from creating media in the sport to conservation and access issues concerning our endangered rivers.  I leave this event with greater knowledge of how to build our sport as well as the work involved to keep our rivers open for business.

 

A creative way to teach demshitz how to role.

Again thanks to Zoar Outdoors for a great weekend.  My next stop is the Moose Fest.  If you have not been to the Moose I highly encourage you to make the drive.  Big clean drops, big party and Demshitz the Movie.  Come it’s a celebration bi%$#(s.  Hope to see you there.  Here is a video from last year.
