flood kayaking

[paddler110]

I don't think people realize the safety people take in this sport. They see it as dangerous when we see it as a certain level of skill to do something we love. For example you don't see people going toi jail fo playing football, but people suffer long lasting trauma from that.

Its not illegal to kayak in it, just do it then take them to court

[JefafaSB]

Bush got his way! The US is a police state

[thereverendkirk]

Government / police seem to think they need to save us all.... sad state our country is in.

[TaufanDermawan]

Why don't you invite the police to go kayak with you. I bet they will buy a kayak the next day and go kayaking there with you.. haha

[xxNutcasexx]

Fucking gay... this is supposed to be a free country...

[pandabear440]

go check us in missouri at kayaking at howell island no cops

[shad0h027]

On one hand, the police are just enforcing an order because they think it's in the best interest of safety. I just can't understand how they think they have the authority to do so. It would have been interesting to see how this would have played out in court, but I wouldn't have risked MY wallet on it... nice runs btw!

How did the cop get you out of the river?

[shad0h027]

Maybe intercepted them at a known takeout? Or ordered them over at a flatwater section?  Good question.

Dive team....

J/K they were all swarmed around all over and at the top or the trail to hike out.

You see a river in flood, you get your boat out and go for a paddle. What is the problem?

America keep bleating on about freedom, so surely that should allow paddlers to paddle whatever river they like whenever they like?

[romerider23]

[geekernet]

G-Force 5.9  but just as old school.

[packleader1215]

@usna12345 i caught that too LOL

[walthanas]

What a dumb cop: these guys were coming down in complete control. Threatening those kayaks makes no sense. That control freak cop didn't know what she was talking about...

[ahanger]

900 acre feet? did they not want to say CFS to excite kayakers or what?

[ahanger]

[tubeeeeyyy]
