Document - Clackamette Wave letter
Abstract
I am writing on behalf of American Whitewater and our interest in the boat ramp within Clackamette Park. The boat ramp forms a feature at certain flows and tide ranges that has become a regional destination for playboating. Playboating is a freestyle form of whitewater kayaking, with similarities to ocean surfing, where kayakers surf and perform different moves on a standing river wave. We understand that the boat ramp has issues that make it less usable for its intended purpose as a launch point for trailered watercraft. Before the boat ramp is removed or rebuilt, however, our members have an interest in opening a dialogue on the new use that has emerged by whitewater kayakers.Description
