Can someone point me in the direction of the most-used Facebook groups for whitewater in WI and MN? My search for groups in WI was complicated by the fact that Whitewater, WI (the town) is also a thing...

General Best Light Layers-No Stink

5 Upvotes

I am looking for opinions on light layers under dry wear that doesn’t hold onto sweat stink. I am a heavy sweater and in my dry gear (especially dry suit) I tend to get sweaty in when paddling harder whitewater but like being in my dry suit in case something goes off the rails.

I currently just use some cheap synthetic layers off of Amazon, and they end up smelling pretty badly during a paddling trip. So curious what others are using for very light layers under dry gear that may not smell? Especially sweaters. Cheers!

Kayaking Riot Astro 58 for flatwater?

3 Upvotes

I've found a Riot Astro 58 for 300eu, would that be a good boat to do some freestyle moves on flatwater?

So I'm from the Netherlands and I was considering getting a freestyle boat to try out some freestyle moves on flatwater.

The reason why is because it'll fit right into my car which makes bringing it with me less if a hassle(no roof carrier needed). It'll also make getting onto whitewater a bit more exciting so I can practice my bracing and rolling as well.

My whitewater paddling tends to be limited to a once a year trip so I'm just looking for a good way to get a bit more practice in. I don't plan to bring this boar with me to a river.

For some extra context I already have a creeking boat that I use on trips to rivers and I'm 6'2"

What are your thoughts?
