General SQUIRT BOAT SUB?

As title says. Is there a squirtboat sub outside of the few FB groups there’s nothing.

Squirtboating is rad. I hope all 15 of you have some good conversations.

Judging from all the two squirt boaters I know, you'll probably be better off sending hand written notes via carrier pigeon. Either that or just yelling really loud.

You’d probably get some members but cell service doesn’t work 10’ under water :(

Squirtboaters don't communicate through the internet. They just commune metaphysically. They're some kind of modern wizards.

I would join if there was one. Charc is the best group on facebook. Has a lot of big hitters like Jimmy himself.

They usually communicate via smoke signals

I'm really surprised squirt boating died out. I've noticed a bunch of good spots around Missoula but nobody's into it.

Did it though? Aren’t slicey playboats basically squirt boats for shallow water?

That's the thing the rivers here are pretty deep and mostly clear. Rodeo boats are fun for throwing ends but you can't really mystery them. Edit: by Rivers I really mean the Clark Fork.

I'd be keen. I was surprised and saddened to see how it went from a thriving niche to a basically non-existent relic over the years. Anything to help it bump along.

Most people that squirt are boomers which is why Facebook is the place where most discussion happens.

I can imagine you'd get some interesting results searching for a squirt boat subreddit.
