Curtis,
Not sure all the details, but looks like you cannot buy Star slice direct any longer.
I contacted them regarding a repair to my boat, and received response back from NRS.
Went online and see that NRS now sells the boat, but they don’t offer any repair service (and seems don’t honor original warranty from Star).
Besides all that, I really like the boat, but have only paddled 6-10 times. Haven’t paddled any other boats for comparison.

Thanks everyone that participated in the SE trip. I had a great time.
It was a little difficult to manage a family vacation and MWA trip at same time, but I hope it worked out well for everyone. Wish I could have spent some extra time at NOC hanging out with everyone.
Some good MWA friends (Sara, Bill P, Joe & Debi B., Mason & Chris G.) showed up at NOC, and we sort of had two different groups running rivers.
Our group was split with several different people attending each day:
Friday – Tuckasegee: Dillsboro -> Barkers Creek @ 2300 CFS
Fun little start to the weekend. This is considered a pretty easy ClassII run, but there were a couple class III rapids, and with the higher than normal water, the rapids were a little more pushy.
Saturday – Nantahala: Patton’s Run -> NOC @ 775 CFS (Normal Flow)
Rain was forecasted, but we managed to time our descent pretty well and had a mostly sunny day. Eric’s girlfriend Claire came along for her maiden white water voyage, and although she had a couple swims had a great time and ready to try some more.
Sunday – Pigeon: Walter’s Powerhouse -> Hartford @ 2300 CFS
Only had a few sprinkles, and the water seemed a little bigger than the last few times I ran it. More diagonal reactionary waves were a little pushy, but most of the rapids actually seemed slightly easier with the extra water. Nate did awesome job leading the group down and avoiding the most precarious holes.
Monday –
A few people ran the Ocoee, but I got tired and couldn’t talk Jace into running the Slice with me, so we decided to just get an early start on the way home, and sleep in our own beds.
SYOTR!

SE Trip Participants:
I just sent email out to everyone who had previously contacted me about going on MWA SE Trip
It includes contact list, directions, Friday float plans.
Looks like several of the potential rivers have fairly high water right now, and chance of rain this weekend.
Friday plan to run the Tuckaseegee: meet at NOC Footbridge river left (next to Big Wesser BBQ)
Before we begin, I will need everyone to fill out ACA Waiver, please have you ACA number available (or pay $5 ACA fee if you are not member).

All SE Participants.
Jim Warren gave me good idea on organizing this trip.
Please email me your contact information (Cell Phone, Email, Facebook (if available)), and let me know if ok to share with the other participants. This way everyone will have a way to contact the others if any of our plans change. I will compile the list and send it out to everyone.
Many places around the SE rivers will not have cell service, and sometimes Facebook Messenger works better if you can get a Wifi signal (at Restaraunts / Gas Stations / Rental Cabins).

Only 2 weeks left to reserve your spot, and then we will need to release any unused bunks back to NOC for rental.
Link to MWA shop for odering your bunk:
