Tomco is one of the best rapids on the Upper Blackwater. If you have not been there you should look in to floating down the creek.

The smoothy is a sweet kayak

Finally, I made it to Great Falls to see what it was all about. Isaac and i drove to D.C. on Sunday and had a great park and huck session. I really enjoyed the falls and can not wait to go back when there is some more water. If you have not been there hop in you car and hit some good boofs.

Check out the Bliss-stick site to see how big the smoothy goes. Stefun makes the boat look awesome.

warning kayaking is really fun

Smoothy is an AWSOME playboat

Smoothy is the best play boat i have paddler to this day. The boat launches when you throw loops. Spins and cartwheels are completed with ease when paddling the smoothy. The volume is displaced really well to create a stable boat for surfing and river running. The edge to edge transition feels so cool when surfing a hole/wave. Since i have been paddling the smoothy my mcnastys have become easier to complete. Check back for smoothy in action. From you dear paddler FITHIAN
