Third year of the Lozer Cup is scheduled

for the summer of 2009 on the Deerfield River, just up the road from the outdoor center of Charlemont, Massachusetts; home of Zoar Outdoor (whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, biking, fly fishing) and Berkshire East (skiing, snowboarding)

www.LozerCup.com is the main page of the website, but most people will end up using the calendar pages as a way to check both the dryway and fife section release schedules.



Teddy Bears indicate Fife releases
Skull and bones are for the Monroe Bridge releases
Trophy Cup shows that a Lozer Cup race is happening on that Sunday (at noon)

Hopefully I can move up in ranking instead of down. (I know, what else is a Lozer to do?)
In the 2007 overall results I was in second place.
In the 2008 overall results I dropped to being tied for third.
In my defence (a.k.a. all my excuses) the competition drew more skilled paddlers last year, more people were trained up, and I participated in fewer events.

Sheepscot Falls with Kawanhee (part 2)

Hooray, let's go surfing!!! BenCon leading the charge from the front of the lineup.



an overview of the beautiful reversing falls on the Sheepscot



Eduardo throwing down.



Johnny is figuring it out too.



Mr. Watson showing us how it's done.



in between helping out swimmers and losing paddles



a one handed loop attempt





most of these campers had learned their roll the day before. By the end of the session most of them had hit a couple of moving-water rolls









Eduardo had never been the Squashtail before. He started figuring out the boat just as the wave got really fast and difficult. He turned out a couple of good surfs towards the end of the session.

New Tshirts

>Men's Tshirt


Women's Tshirt

Lozer.com

there's the LozerCup.com this coming spring and summer

and there's already a Lozer.com website

so it' got me thinking and I made up a quick screen for printing on tshirts as an easy way to tag old crappy tshirts that need something new on them that would get me psyched about wearing them again
