In 2011, WRI will be offering Motorized Boat courses. We are very excited to be able to offer this to our customers. The course, like all WRI training, will focus on hands-on learning. WRI has a 12 foot Avon with a 55 hp jet for use during the class, or we are happy to use your boat. Contact us for further details.

Cody was busy this fall as he traveled to North Carolina for the Whitewater Symposium and Colorado for the Wilderness Risk Managers Conference.  These gatherings were a great opportunity to share ideas with the leaders in the river and outdoor communities.
