Watching Dave and the guys leave, I was pretty sad. Spending almost every second with a bunch of fine people even for only 10 days can make you close.

cold monday
Monday last week, 14th April: Due to maintenance work on a hydropower facility, there was water in a normally dry creek with some bigger drops, so we had to ignore the weather forecast and go…
Our new Drysuits did fully pay off, as the VIDEO shows.

Am I Gonna Need Snowshoes For This Run?
You know it’s spring time in the Adirondacks when people are trying to decide what is more important to stuff in the back of your boat: A breakdown paddle or snowshoes. It’s been a spring to remember up here lots of runs on the Boquet, John’s Brook, and the Branch amongst others. The highlight came over the weekend when Myself, Tom Vickery, Phil LeMarche, Bill Frazer, and Dave Carouso, walked 2 and a half miles up John’s Brook to see what was up there.

Little White LVM Giant Slalom
We had an awesome weekend of racing on the LW. Sat was the down river portion of the event, and Sun was the first ever LVM Giant Slalom. I ended up finishing first place overall which was a great feeling on my home river. I feel like this type of racing is the way the sport should be heading and am stoked to do more of these events. Check out lvmtv for more full results and details.

Canyon Creek Race/Huckfest
Last weekend I hit up the first annual Nortwest Creeking Competiton. I took down first place in the Huckfest over Sunset Falls on the East Fork of the Lewis River. It was a good time, lots of freewheels and whatnot. I went for a seal launch into the base of the falls for the crowd pleaser. The race was also sweet with a 80 racer turnout. I finished the race in 3rd place… but only 1/5th of a second off second. Here are some shots of the action.

Burnin up in Three Rivers
Cody and Mike here just back from Three Rivers, CA! We’ve got our burns in and what better a place to break ’em in than the Kaweahs. We had a great four days lapping the various forks and also ran into Josh B out there showing the World Class kids how to get it done. Hope all is well out there and enjoy the stills!

Morocco Part 1
A bunch of us are just back from a short trip to Morocco to sample some of the incredible scenery, famously hospitable people, amazing food, and of course the whitewater that the country has to offer. Just a short flight from the snow of the UK landed us in sun drenched Marrakesh and from there we hit the road looking for rivers…
