Gnarlfest is a extreme kayak race down the South Feather river in California. This year was extra special as we celebrated the first ever Greenboat descents of the run as well as the first Greenboats in the race. Will Pruett and myself probed the run and certified to others that it was even possible to get the long race boats down the run. We had 6 racers in Greenboats and the race has officially been transformed into another long boat extreme race. Next years race will include a ramp start into an additional rapid at the beginning of the course making sure to bump up the Gnarl factor on this awesome race!
