Tell us about your favorite paddling experience: My last weekend in New England before I moved to North Carolina was pretty stellar. A little Maine Indian summer delivered a few days in the 80s with no clouds at all. We paddled a 3500 cfs release on the Dead River which is 16 miles of Class 2-4 rapids. The following day we managed to get 2 laps in the Kennebec Gorge at 5000+ cfs, so big water class 3+ for 4 miles and another somewhere around 3500. Not really wanting to go home, I drove to my brothers house on the coast that night and paddled out to an off shore sandbar/break and surfed for most of the morning.

What do you do when you are not paddling? Ski, hike or climb.
