<div>An Update::
</div>
<div>We have all of the shoreline wires hung, 1/2 of the cross channel wires hung, and all gates made. Big thanks to everyone for their contribution. Half of the course is ready to roll. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are extending our fundraising to aquire 1,000 more feel of cable to finish the cross channel wires on the lower half of the course. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Go Shred it up in the meantime!

<div>Help Us Build a Real Slalom Course at Seven Islands
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At Seven Islands, a small group of paddlers came together to create a DIY slalom course. It wasn’t fancy, but it is close to town, brought people together on the water and gave paddlers a new way to enjoy a section of river that they may not have in the past.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, the park has given us the green light to give the channel a facelift. With your help, we’ll replace our makeshift setup with a durable 10–15 gate course that’s properly anchored and thoughtfully laid out for skill-building and fun.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This upgrade will mean:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Stronger, safer materials that can properly handle the river’s current fluctuation and weather impacts
</li>
<li>Better gate positioning for a smoother, more enjoyable flow and maximization of the channel's natural features.
</li>
<li>Accessible practice space for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike
</li>
<li>A lasting resource for the local paddling community that does not currently exist in the greater Knoxville region.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're looking to secure $4,000. Below is the cost breakdown for the project:
</div>
<ul>
<li>River Left Cable - 500ft. - $512
</li>
<li>River Right Cable	- 500ft. - $512
</li>
<li>Cross Channel Cable. - 1000ft. - $1024
</li>
<li>9 Tree savers -$675.00
</li>
<li>6 Turnbuckles - $108.00
</li>
<li>Roughly $80/gate.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve already done the hardest part: securing permission from the park. Now we need the funds for poles, cables, anchors, and hardware to make it happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you chip in the cost of a single pole or single-handedly fund the whole damn thing, your support will directly turn our grassroots dream into a permanent fixture on the water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s give Seven Islands the slalom course it deserves—one we can enjoy, and share for years to come.
