Canyon Creek Exrteme Race (This Saturday!!)

This weekend will be Devin's first kayak race in the NW. While we don't focus on racing normally Canyon Creek has a special place in our hearts and for the little guy to even be allowed to race with his age makes it even more cool. If only there was a youth category regardless of how many 17 and unders show. Luke seems to be interested in adding the category next year so we'll see.

Devin's looking good on his lines and yesterday just the two of us did a quick lap and I got to try and keep up with him through the boulder gardens and with the Remix59 and his strength that didn't work out so we'll for me. I got to see him around the corner of boulders as he dropped over the next ledge. It was proof to me that he knows the lines for sure and will be safe on his own during the race. Of course there is safety all over the course but I hate to trust someone else with his life or safety.

This week will most likely be spending time at the gym a few nights getting ready!!
