Reno was Blown Away by the first HTTD of 2011
It was sunny! It was blustery! It was 1,300 cfs! It was the first throwdown of 2011 in Reno, NV!! This year we have more awesome sponsors, including Jackson kayak which has donated several 2010 Star series kayaks to be given away to those who use the new tracking system to follow their progress against the rest of the World Kayak Universe. We also have our awesome local outfitter Reno Mountain Sports who not only provides the newest demo boats at the HTTD but brings out the grill and cooks up dogs for everyone to warm their stomachs, thanks guys!! For our first throwdown we had 3 women and 7 men brave the gale force winds for their share of hometown glory, results were as follows: Women’s 1. Jessica (109) 2. Mary (44) 3. Rita (36) Men’s 1. Scott (232) 2. Jon (161) 3. Jason (97) 4. Chris (91) 5. Eric (68) 6. John (67) 7. Cyrus (34) Congratulations to everyone and we hope to see you out there next time trying to better your score!!

March 27 Throwdown at Bangs Falls NS
Judge Liz is quite impressed It was the first event of the year and it was chilly for the 30+ people that came top paddle! The snow is horizontal in some of the pictures below! I was just trying to get everyone fired up with my dragon’s breath but almost ended up spraying the judge! Somehow ended up winning this time but there was some stiff competion and I probably won’t have the cold on my side for next time… We also held paddling lessons so there were some firsts in a kayak, first times on the river and Mike even got his fist loop! Thanks to Victor and Glenna for setting everyone up in style at the barn. Your warmth and the stove in the barn made this early spring event a lot sweeter!
