Riot Demo on the James in RVA back in September + Appomattox River Co Photo Contest!

Z-spot at a nice level

Back in September Joey and I traveled out to the surf kayak nationals out at the outer banks of NC. Afterwards we headed up to the James River in Richmond VA to meet up with Appomattox River Company and the local boating community for a Riot demo day. We struck it lucky with the water and were fortunate enough to paddle at Z-Dam at a great level.

Big thanks to Vikki from Appomattox River Co for organizing and photographing the event.


The RVA crew is always motivated for a boating session when we come into town. Big thanks to the wole crew down in Richmond. We look forward to the next time, probably sometime this coming spring. These guys have one of the best play spots in the southeast. If you ever paddle at any of the Colorado play parks you'll notice a striking resemblance to Z-Spot. This is a perfect hole.

Fellowship by the hole


Some old Riot boats came out of the woodwork for this event.


Team WAV from VCU was there in full force, short bus and all.


Team WAV members tried out the Astro


Scott Wagner is a local who owns an Astro. He was going absolutely huge!


Two or three Discos came out of the woodwork for the event as well as an old Glide.



Joey and I had a lot of fun in our Flairs 47 & 57 and Astro 54
