The Asheville home team went out for some kayak fun in the snow! There was high speed action and just enough carnage to make it exciting. It didn’t hurt that it was foggy to make it more ominous, scary, and downright sketchball. Yes there was carnage! Here are a few shots and a video down […]

Day three starts off fairly mellow. There are a few nice surf waves but not a ton of rapids.
