George Armstrong, a pioneer in whitewater rafting, took his first rafting trip in 1962 and has been riding a wave of success ever since.
All-Outdoors Whitewater Rafting, the Walnut Creek based company he founded, has been selected as one of the "Best of the West" entries in the February 1999 issue of Sunset, The Magazine of Western Living.
"We are very thrilled," says son Gregg Armstrong, All-Outdoors president and co-owner. "We knew what we were doing was unusual for a long time."
For 35 years, the Armstrongs, including their five children, have led adventuresome types over the rapids of rivers in California and Oregon.
George Armstrong was raised in Oakland- a city kid. But by the time his children were young, Armstrong's interest had blossomed and his adventures were a family affair.
Gregg Armstrong remembers tagging along on rafting trips as a boy of 5, and says he and his siblings have enjoyed the thrill of skiing, backpacking, kayaking, mountain climbing and scuba diving.
