hello fellow paddlers from the LL freestyle crew marlow long and patrick camblin.
we've been stationed here in fayetteville west virgina for the last couple weeks and so far the levels have been super sweet.
the dries have been running most of that time at medium flows (30,000) but we've had a couple super high water days and one day with epic water levels...

the middle wave at the put-in is where all the magic happens, it's a huge wave in the middle of the river that builds and crashes hard, while Occasonial drift wood
and huge logs keep zooming by. luckly we were equipped with the new LL Vison - super fast carves and pass's across the wave along with huge hops. oh heck yes!

some of the biggest tricks were thrown on the middle wave. Pato threw a bunch of bread and butter's and some big 'ol back
pan ams while marlow threw a few huge pan ams, a cracker jack or two, and some stylish clean blunts. a good porpoise was had by all.

the freestyle crew also managed to get some time out on a couple creeks... patrick finally got to run his first creek ever... ridiculus, but ya...
he ran mill creek first, great fun run; then yesterday we were guided down his 2nd ever creek (manns @ 6inches), by jb and crew (thanks!). super fun, pretty intense for sustained periods of time, and long! that super bouldery stuff is fun but scary for sure...

anyway, we're having a great time here in wv paddling the new LL boats... hope you all have good water as well!
we are probably heading up to bussy in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that...
Pat and Mar
