Yup
Contact the lake Lanier canoe and kayak Club in Lanier Georgia. The same place where the Olympics were held 12 years or so ago. If you can not find it shoot me another E-Mail.

1996 Olympics
Baldpaddler, Time flys fast… but not quite that fast. The Atlanta Olympics were in 1996. So it was only 8 years ago.



There are several nice sprint websites. I need to grab those addresses from home

try your hometown
there might be a local paddling club or association that can help you locally. even the local ACA (i’m assuming you are American) would probably know or have an outside affiliation. i’d like to try it myself and fortunately there is a club (run exclusively by eastern Europeans) thats hard core into it. good reminder to go see those folks.



good luck. jbv
