2011 has been one of the best water years the NW has seen in a
long time, with water levels holding all summer long!
During August, the White Salmon held between 4ft in the beggining of
the month and ended the month at a pleasant 2.5 feet! To give paddlers
from other regions a idea what this means, on a standard year the
truss would maybe be 3ft in the begging of the month then end the
month of August sub 2 ft.
With such awesome water this year a few of the local IR team members,
myself and friends included, took full advantage of the sick flows!
Here are some pics from the Truss.

My IR Comp LX Dry Top is oh so comfy, dry, and stylish!
After a great Truss run the crew decide to cool off by taking a plunge into the crisp water's of the White Salmon!
Thanks for the support!
