Busy, very busy, but no paddling lately. Green has been dry (or 60% anyway) and no rain. Yonton and I went to the Eternity hole a couple weeks ago and it is sick. Definitely the funnest play spot around and I can't wait to go back. Oh, I now have a channel on broadbandsports.com/user/6279/profile which is basically youtube for sports. As a matter of fact all my videos on there are linked from my youtube account. Wow, amazing story wasn't it?

If anyone liked the movie Shaun of the Dead, the same guys are coming out with a new movie this year called Hot Fuzz. It stars Shaun and Ed from Shaun of the Dead. I absolutely can't wait to see this. Looks hilarious.

Steve Althaus... you might know him as the 2006 Mustache King, and feeder of donkeys.

Anyway, Steve sent me this pretty funny web site yesterday. http://www.safenow.org/safenow.org . Every time I sit on a plane I look at those safety brochures and laugh my arse off. This site epitomizes that. It's hirarious!

Oh, watch the Riot blog for a post coming soon because we are gonna unveil our most special, secret, stupendous, superlative, sacajawea-istic, silly, stupid, supersonic idea yet. You'll see.

One more story. My wife and son went to the zoo in Greenville SC last week. They saw a monkey there. Here's the photo. Guess what that thing hanging down is? Your first guess is probably wrong. Guess again, you will not like the answer. Haha!

Lovely.


Oh yeah, Boone Baglery is the best place to eat. Clark thinks so too. Later, Spencer

Today is the turdteenth. It rained some. Maybe water tomorrow.

Recently I decided to put this little video together of all the footage of my kayaking from 2006. I had a great time last year and got to do all kinds of fun paddling. Plus, at the end of the year my wife and I got the best prize ever, our son. I'd say my favorite thing about kayaking, besides coming home to my wife and son, is all the different types of kayaking. If the variety wasn't there I do believe I would get bored. I truly feel like doing it all, creeking, freestyle, surfing, touring, all disciplines, makes a person a better paddler. For example, I know that surf kayaking has made me a much better creek paddler and visa versa. I would strongly encourage any paddler to explore a new type of paddling that you haven't experienced. Surfers should go playboating, creekers should go surfing, playboaters should go creeking! Cats and dogs living together, apples and oranges mingling, everyone getting along, no religion, no politics, no segregation, no fighting. I know what you're thinking, complete and utter chaos for sure. Ah, nevermind all of that. Must've been something I ate.

I credited everyone who shot footage of me in the video except for Caleb Coaplen. He shot one of the clips of me on Linville Gorge. Sorry I missed that Caleb. I kind of have a pet peeve about people not properly crediting photos and video. People usually don't mind holding the camera for a second, but if the footage is used, give them credit. A small favor can help you out a lot and it only takes a second to type someone's name.

Did I mention that I love shorebreak?

With love,

Spencer

I want to go surf kayaking in big shore break.
