2) I did indeed attend the 4th annual NAWF at Short Creek and the Locust Fork in Alabama, followed by an incredible trip down the Little River Canyon. The video event coverage is a little late but it's here nonetheless, featuring tons of happy paddlers.

As always you can subscribe to the Rapid Transit Video podcast via iTunes or at the Podcast page on the RT site. Enjoy and see you next time.

PS. The Magnum 80 and Thunder 76 by Riot are out now. These two new big boy creek/river boats are incredible additions to the lineup. If you're a biggy then give a try, you likey. You float high, go fast, boof drop, punch hole. You like.

Later,

Mustache hair has been stalled out...

Face Hair Fans,

Due to some unforeseen circumstances the Mustache King will be postponed until June 1st. The new contest dates are June 1 - July 31. There is still room for competitor entries so please feel free to enter between now and then. Visit TheMustacheKing.com for more info.

Besides, Mustaches are way more fertile during warm, summer temperatures.

Thanks, The Mustache King
