Last weekend the second race in the Norwegian Whitewater Cup took place at Trøndelagsrunden, a small kayaking festival in the wild valleys of Sør Trondelag. Due to low lying snow remaining far down into the Ena valley, this year the race course had to be moved. This meant the morning started with competitors learning the …

In the event’s short history the race has seen super low levels in it’s first year and beautiful medium levels last year.

New team member Beth Morgan took the 9R to Sickline last month. Here are a few words on her experience: A couple of years ago, whilst sitting on top of a bus in Nepal, myself and Beth Hume were discussing our future paddling aims. I decided that one of mine would be to enter Sickline. …

One weekend in mid-October, several of the Pyranha boys and girls headed up to chilly Old Forge, New York, for the final race in the King of New York Series. The water in the Moose River was over twice as high as normal flows, prompting race organizers to move the race to the Lower …

The last few months have been non-stop, ending with a crazy unfortunate trip to Chile to finish it off! I spent July working as a raft guide in Whistler and paddling on the Cheak and Callaghan daily waiting for the Stikine to come in, which did and really early! August 2nd and we were getting …
