This past weekend marked the 5 year anniversary of the Northwest Creeking Comp, which takes place on the EF Lewis River, and Canyon Creek in Washington State each spring. This years event yielded to some brutal rain the Friday night prior to the event, which spiked the EF Lewis up 1000 cfs overnight, and Canyon Creek had gone up about 1200 cfs. With a few race course modifications, the race was underway! With some 85 racers, the weather certainly did not scare too many NW boaters off! Big thanks to Next Adventure and Luke Spencer for organizing the largest whitewater event on the West Coast! Congrats to Jon Shelby, raffle winner of a brand new, 2011 Comp Semi-Drytop!
What would a festival be without an eating contest?
