John, wouldn’t the Russell Fork Rendezvous be more interesting? October 25-27, higher release. Watch the Lord of the Fork Race on Saturday. Very well orchestrated weekend on the part of the BWA. You can still do the Pound and Upper Russell Fork to Garden Hole.

Bilbo started the topic Lost paddle MWC Sunday in the forum Lost and Found 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Paddle was apparently left at the D takeout after a Sunday afternoon paddle race weekend. Carbon Shogun 197cm bent shaft, lots of stickers on it, from Pyranha to Sweets. Might have a faint Eades name and phone number in silver paint. Would be nice to get this one back,

Bilbo started the topic Sorry, no Filmy Fest this year in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago
My tradition of a fall party has had to be postponed. My home and barn are construction sites, and I did not complete what I wanted in time to host a film festival this year. I do not want to abandon this entirely as I have enjoyed it a lot over the decades of foam boat racing and film watching. Perhaps I can do this in the spring or summer to…[Read more]

Bilbo replied to the topic Is WaveSport still in business? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago
Wavesport is a division of Confluence, a holding company that also holds Dagger and Perception brands, among others. Wavesport decided 3 years ago to market only to Europe and Asia, and as I also heard recently want to come back into dealers in the US, popularity growing in their current market.
What made them decide to leave was 3 years of…[Read more]

You must start west, but which way? Via Washington or via Chouteau? I will try to ride to meet you either way, from Barnes. I will keep my phone on.

The only place where cobalt is mentioned as a contaminant is OU5, but that may also not matter if this is a new mine.

Trying to wrangle my lovely daughter is putting me at D around 12:30PM as it looks. We will take what we can get at that point. Hope to see some of you, perhaps on second runs of something, hopefully creekish.

Chris thanks as always for being a constant workhorse for scoring and results presentation. Any rant I submit saves you very, very harmless.

Bilbo replied to the topic Downriver Results? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 8 months ago
Chuck, thanks greatly. I talked to you about this during the races, but it needs to get out.
The races are about the MWA, not individuals within it, regardless of volunteers with decades of tenure. I really don’t care if a sign was donated or not, a sign for an MWA event should never have an individual’s name on it, only the organization, as i…[Read more]

Bilbo replied to the topic Downriver Results? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 8 months ago
David, good job, you legitimately beat me by 14 seconds and won the short class downriver. That is way cool. Seriously!
I have my own opinions of the way the races are held now, and how the organizers are considering themselves more important than the racers, and my opinions are immaterial now, because the race results are locked in. I say th…[Read more]

Turquoise, Fucsia, White. Very little use, maybe 4 runs. Reason for selling, well, I lost weight and fit better in the medium. Tremendously forgiving and fast creeker. Possibly my favorite in that genre of all time. Boofomatic.
