The Vertical Challenge

Eddyflower.com, a paddling website, is hosting a new competition to benefit First Descents, an organization for young kayakers with cancer. It’s pretty cool–in a 30 day period, you and your teammates (5 max) paddle as many rivers as you can and log your vertical feet. Then they add it all up and the team with the most vert wins. There are different categories too, Open, Weekend Warrior, Class III and Class IV etc. Portland-based shoe company Keen is a sponsor too.
