Boat Categories: 

Short, Long, Race, and Inflatables. What's the definition of a 'short boat'? Not a long boat. In other words, we're not imposing the 9' limit, but be cool and don't push the boundaries. A half-slice at 9' 4" is fine (e.g., large Rewind), but a full creeker closer to 10' is not OK. The boat length rule is: be cool, don't be uncool. The race category consists of speeders, wavehoppers, and Wildwater boats. Again, the rule for this category is: be cool, don't be uncool.

Safety:

A safety team will be distributed throughout the course. All racers are required to wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD and helmet.
