#1- knit millions of hats
#2 - hang out with the family
#3- find a winter job
#4- kayak some of the classic whitewater the east coast has to offer
I succeeded in accomplishing all of the above.
Here are some pictures from the adventures.
Dave Fusilli surfing the top wave at Sheepscot Reversing Falls in Maine. A tidal rapid, these play features form daily a couple of hours after high tide. I can't tell you exactly when they form, but I do recommend not showing up late, because the fun spots appear and disappear quickly.

Shane surfing the Dries of the New River in West Virgina.I never imagined I would be surfing the dries on a beautiful sunny day in November wearing only shorts and a dry top.
What an amazing way to end the kayaking season!
Now I am ready to head to snowy Utah in a week.
