ckheaton started the topic Clinic This Weekend! Join Us & Help in the forum General Discussion 2 months, 4 weeks ago

We also have several new instructors to help us teach! We are looking for just a few more able paddlers to help out with Safety. We can never have too many safety boaters!

If you haven’t reached out to John H – clinicdirec…[Read more]
ckheaton replied to the topic Need loaner boat for spring clinic fits 245# person in the forum Gear Exchange 3 months, 1 week ago

Likely will need the mans height to fit him properly?

But any large creek boat should work, if he is very tall you need to ask for something like:

Jackson mega rocker or a Pyranha Everest

The STL team river runner club has some big boats – He wouldn’t happen to be a veteran?
ckheaton replied to the topic Winter Pool Sessions / Jan Feb in the forum General Discussion 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks to all that participated this year! Without enough participation this event could not happen. And thanks to all that put in for a tip to the Mehlville lifeguard – He worked every weekend evening for the last 8 weeks – he was very appreciative!

The pool is such a great opportunity to learn – My son, Xander (5) got much more comfortable i…[Read more]

Hey Voodoodriver, yes our last Saturday session is today. You can drop in – just give the lifeguard $5 before you leave.
ckheaton replied to the topic Report from the Saint in the forum General Discussion 4 months, 3 weeks ago

2.65 Ft Monday Morning…. The water is coming and coming slow. Hopefully it goes down slow for those that work during the week!

Anyway – I added links to gauges at the top of the site for quick reference. 🙂

Who’s ready to at least slide over wet rocks?

Thank you Adam… Tim was such a kind hearted guy. So sorry for the loss of a great friend.

I’ve only known Tim a few years, we paddled together on the SE trip a few times and a small handful of times on the Saint. Tim was someone you wanted on the river with you – he was smart, cautious and patient. The last time I saw Tim we were on the Oc…[Read more]
