While the rest of Demshitz competed in the Lyons Outdoor Games, Dave and I headed to Frisco, CO to visit Tenmile Creek Kayaks‘ owner Matti Wade and hang out at the local river festival. It was great to meet a new group of friendly kayakers and check out their scene.
The shop is super cool with bar seating in front of a flat screen playing kayak videos and hand painted outdoor scenery. Matti set up a living room for us to spend the evening and we still were able to sleep under the clouds. Thanks for the hospitality!
Tenmile Creek Kayaks is fortunate to have a fun play feature right across the street from the shop. The Saturday evening event was a big trick competition under the lights. Here Brenton Petrillo shows shows off to a gathering group of local Frisco spectators.
Sunday included a freestyle rodeo and the classic Tenmile One Mile downriver race.
Showing off dem’ boats at the Frisco Whitewater Park.
Riding the chairlift in the back of Matti’s shop. It’s a very cool shop… If you’re passing through Colorado on I-70 you should check it out!
