Another Day at the Falls

This past Saturday Sam B. and I traveled down to Great Falls on the Potomac. It was a perfect day and even better there were no other boaters at the falls. We got four runs in on the Virginia side including the right line at the spout. The right line is sick for sure, but also a destroyer of boats as Sam found out...

We also got some good pictures of the Virgina Side rapids above the spout...

No boaters that day, just a big crowd

After our 4th run down we hiked up and got one run in on the Maryland Side, bad idea for me. Setting up I was pushed left before the lip of Pummel and struck a rock under the surface sending my bow sky high. Luckily I was able to stern stall away from the pour over, but I later found three big cracks on the bottom of my boat, damn. Sam and I then boated on down to the take out with good lines and ended our day.

Good lines,

Kevin V.

The Beginning of the Team River Left Blog

We've been layin' low for a while now just getting out and boating, but this blog is about to change all of that. Team RLP is not just a production company with normal everyday people or kayakers trying to promote their image. We are innovators and explorers of this whitewater sport. Pushing or limits is what makes us feel alive. Whether it's air blunting a new wave or stompin' a tech 30footer, we push the boundaries so our sport can grow. Most importantly though we love this kayak gig. There is nothing better to us than floating down a remote river with fellow boaters just enjoying life. Paddlers like this make up Team RLP. On this blog will be posts by team paddlers of adventures and outings and we hope you enjoy them. Here is the start of Team RLP's blog...
