About this event:
This trip is scheduled for the Friday of the Spring Extravaganza. It is a bit of a drive from SMM so it would probably be a good idea to arrive on Thursday night since we will need to leave SMM by about 8 am on Friday. At normal flows French Broad 9 is a step up from the Nantahala. It isn’t pushier but it requires more boat control than the Nanty. This is a natural flow river so the possibility exists of the water being either too high or too low. In the event that the water level on FB9 is outside of what we consider to be a good level for the trip our backup plan will be to run the Nantahala. If you are interested in this trip please contact Lisa Haskell at lshkayaker@gmail.com – clicking “I’m attending” on the website will not be considered as signing up for the trip. Lisa needs to hear from you no later than Wednesday, May 11th if you are interested in the trip because she has to make arrangements for the shuttle in advance.
I would love to go as well but like Kate I can’t send the email. My number is 470 8 four 8 2 three 58. Thanks.
Hi, I have tried emailing the above email addresses, however they are not going through.
I am trying to decide between the lower green and French broad 9 trips for Friday.
I’ve been paddling 2 years, have taken 6 lessons at ace kayaking school. I run parts of the middle Ocoee, section 3.5, nanty and cartecay primarily. haven’t been on lower green or French broad. Roll is solid in flat water but likely 60% in moving water.
Can you please advise? Thanks very much!
