http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/ We the local, regional and national whitewater enthusiast, canoeists and kayakers would like to petition the city of New Braunfels, Texas into amending Code of Ordinance Sec. 86-15, paragraph (d) Use of life jackets on the river. " (d) It shall be unlawful for any person, regardless of age, to enter, be on, or in the public waters of the portion of the Guadalupe River that lies within the city limits in an inner tube or other flotation device, other than a six-man raft, when the flow of the river is above 1,000 cfs." We ask the city of New Braunfels to recognize us, the canoeist and kayakers as qualified, experienced and capable navigator's of waters of excess of 1000cfs. We as whitewater enthusiast are always aware of and diligent of the safety to ourselves and others. We strongly revere the habits of wearing proper protection (Pfds and helmets) against the elements at hand. We wish for the amendment of Code of Ordinance Sec. 86-15, paragraph (d) to include "Canoes and Kayaks" so forth; " (d) It shall be unlawful for any person, regardless of age, to enter, be on, or in the public waters of the portion of the Guadalupe River that lies within the city limits in an inner tube or other flotation device, other than six-man rafts, canoes and kayaks when the flow of the river is above 1,000 cfs." We the whitewater community thank you, the city of New Braunfels and hope you take this petition in to consideration.

I enjoy visiting New Braunfels. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3677743 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It does not get interesting to us until levels over 1000 cfs. We regularly use other water ways at much high levels and take all safety precations we can. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3677613 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3677345 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3677294 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676994 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676986 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676556 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676516 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676489 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/newbraunfelspaddlecode/#sig3676451 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I kayak and canoe on the river while it is in excess of 1000 cfs.Each time I approach the river I survey the situation, consider my paddling partners skills, and make sure we all have the proper and gear and training.Please do not block my right to get on the river.Christy Long
