Boogie down the NOC

NOC gauge 3.97ft 1510cfs May 10th 2024
My Personal First Decent in hard Kayak, I ran it twice once in my Zet Director and again in the Dagger Green Boat, I forgot how fast the Green Boat is and had to paddle drag alot, otherwise I would run into Rafts and other Kayaker, want to thank the group that gave me the lines to follow. My first run was in the Zet Director, which I went completely blind and by myself, was an interesting run and a painful one at the same time. I found the biggest hole after I buffed off a rock, only to find a hole waiting for me, which I got stuck in, I turned my Director on it's side, with the edge design of the boat, it bounced me out of the hole. I buffed another rock that had a sharp drop ofa few feet and landed flat, the shock went up my spine to my brain, giving me an instant headache and spots in my vision.
I felt better in the Dagger Green Boat the nice day, and the semi displacement hull gave me a softer landing.
I am considering selling the Director and replacing it with a semi displacement or displacement hull.
A group of Veterans, took some 60 JRTOC Cadets down the NOC, us veterans served as safeties, in front center and rear. Head on a swivel, but still a great time!
Looking at the Zet Torro, LL Alpha 90, LL Stinger, ( I do love a long boat ), Dagger Phantom or Dagger Code "M"
If you run across anyone selling one of these boats or a trade, let me know.
