You know who you are...the memories of watery swims and the sting of sarcastic barbs still haunt your night. You, who have dodge the rocks of the Rappahannock, tossed a boat on the Little Juniata, plunged through the Owwasee Rapids on the Pine and somehow escaped being provisions for the cannibalistic dinner that night deserve some recognition. Behold the latest iteration of the fabled ARSES Paddling logo...
Thanks to the work of AAV Member jjstahl3, who does all the awesome artwork for the Rendezvous events, and the help of Dave (who runs some forum or another, I can't remember which) Mr Stahl took Al's original design and "Pumped it Up" so to speak. The results are pretty damn cool.
So what's it take to get one of these babies. Well ya all can't buy 'em, they gotta be earned. Ya need to slip a boat into the water, take a dunk, destroy a canoe, put up with our nonsense, cook up and eat copious amount of tasty victuals and most importantly of all....have had a damn good time doing it. So if you are a surviving veteran of past ARSES paddling trips you've earned a decal to grace the deck of your boat. Just drop me a PM with your address and I'll ship one out to you post haste. An ARSES decal will up your game, attract the ladies, or gentlemen if you're one of our lady ARSES, improve your kayak abilities by three skill points, and turn the heads of all the lesser paddlers at the put-in.
But wait...there's more. Looky what we got here....
That's a BIG decal; 16" of pure coolness. Want one of those? Well ya gotta earn that too. These 16" decals are a symbol of the ARSES Paddling Elite and the only way to gain that recognition is to plan, lead and guide an ARSES float trip. Its easy, pick a river, set a date, figure out the shuttle and ride herd on the flotilla.
What? You haven't gone on an ARSES float yet but want the sticker, well paddling season literally dries up during the summer months. But the ARSES will be leading a kayak and canoe float at the American Adventurist Appalachian Rendezvous this fall in North Carolina. Oh I'll have decals for all, those that are willing to float a boat. Want extras, I'll double the stickers for the first one that unintentionally swims.
