Team “Dude, I’m Down for Whatever”

 

 

 

TVF is a whitewater competition; goal is to descend as many vertical feet as possible on whitewater rapids on 8 days during February to April.

 Last year our team descended nearly15,000 feet. This year we plan to paddle harder, run bigger waterfalls and get more gradient.

 

We also intend to harness our effort to raise money for a couple of our favorite causes, First Descents and March of Dimes.

Our causes

First Descents’ mission is to utilize whitewater kayaking and other outdoor adventure sports to promote emotional, psychological and physical healing for young adults with cancer. To find out more about First Descents visit our website at www.firstdescents.org.

Check out the DIDFW blog where you can keep up to date with our TVF efforts as we rack up the injuries, broken gear, and hopefully tens of thousands of vertical feet!  Exciting commentary, photos and videos are imminent.
