Blessed with a beautiful fall weekend in Tucker County, WV. A crew of us locals cruised to get some Blackwater action. Sun shinning as we experienced the last of the fall foliage in 2011. Group moral was all about happiness as we approached each and every horizon-line. Lots of smiles on the rio that day… My X-jacket keep me not only warm, but comfortable and dry for all the great boofs we had all day. Good job everyone.

Enjoy,

As employee’s of a whitewater gear manufacture we work M-F 9-5. Occasionally we get sick and have to leave work early and head to Dr. River and on these days we typically stay local to hit a section of the Youghiogheny River. On rainy days we are usually at the IR factory working away, receiving messages and reports from our kayaking friends about awesome water levels and epic runs.

We’ve had an unseasonably wet fall and with a little luck rain fell at the right time in the right place to give us some whitewater action this past weekend. On October 16th IR’s customer service and repair/warranty representatives headed to the Blackwater for some good ole’ Sh&$ Running. With mostly clean lines and blue skys we were stoked to enjoy one of our favorite rivers during our days off. Enjoy some of the pictures taken by Cannan Valley local Curtis Hishman and Morgantown local Adam Johnson.
