Red River Rapid Riders
Why do we do it?
Since 1975, a group of young men learned that White Water Canoeing was a weekend adventure that has turned into a lifetime memory. At first, canoeing was the main reason, but after 40 years, we have experienced memorable moments that we cherish for life. Throughout the years, over 100 different men have experienced the fellowship by gathering around a campfire, telling stories and relieving the stress we experience throughout the year. But only a few survive and come back for more.
Since years have gone by, we have had a variety of Old Men along with a mixture of young ones gather to share manly stories from different generations. Several are now canoing the rivers through the pearly gates, laughing at the Nambie Pambies they left behind.
We have very few rules. Enjoy yourself while “partaking” in the fellowship of the “friendliest drunks” around a single campfire because “Fun ain’t worth a Damn unless you’re having it.” and we try very hard to have it while we can. It is even more fun when we do it as a group. Just remember the saying from a wise old man “White Water on the Rocks can do crazy things to a man”. Don’t be offended when others are drowning. At the same time, try to keep your head above water.
Anyone can go canoeing, but it takes a little more of an effort in becoming a part of group like the Red River Rapid Riders.
