November 11th, 2007 Split Rock to Big Eddy

Kyle Landwehrle, his father Paul and friend Shomari Anderson went for a paddle on the Skykomish river.  A mear 2 hr drive from Olympia, the river proved to be well worth it. 

 

They chose the Split Rock to Big Eddy section due to their skill level.  The river was running at a perfect flow for what they wanted.  A Class II/III as rated by American Whitewater, they were in for a treat.  Kyle has paddled up to class IV rivers during his career as a paddler.  While Shomari has a few class Vs under his belt and Paul had a number of Class IIs under his.

 

All in all they had a successful trip...

Kyle worked on his cartweels, Paul solidified his combat roll, and Shomari got out and had some fun.
