: SSTIKS was awesome.

: It opened with the paddle making workshop on Friday. Don Beale has been doing
: this for four years now and it shows. It started at 8 AM. By 1 PM the
: first students were finishing up their paddles. By the end of the day,
: everyone had finished their paddle.

: We also had a boat building demo. If you've ever thought about building your
: own Skin on Frame kayak, the boat building demo would be quite
: interesting.
(SNIP)

: SSTIKS is the greatest kayaking event in the world. I think the SSTIKS team
: did a first rate job and should be very proud of putting on such an
: amazing event. I can hardly wait for next year.

Tim exagerates not a whit! I can't wait for next year's SSTIKS either ... an old hand at the event may find lots of the activities just the usual excellent stuff that goes on, but as a newbie to SSTIKS, I find my list of superlative adjectives to describe the experience is just too limited! I like Shawn's exclamation: Woo-hoo!
