Burning up Early Season BC
While the British Columbia low lands have been covered with snow most of the winter and records continue to be set for low Spring temps, low elevation snowpack, ect…, Spring is finally showing its face. Weather forecasters are predicting that warmer temps will begin to prevail as La Nina weakens and as a result we will certainly have a big water season in store. Todd Gillman and myself have been out despite the lack of Spring breaking in our new Burns and also getting some cockpit time in the new Everest. From post holing into the Ashlu to racing Robe Canyon and from backyard classics to Van Island explorations, the BC boating season is in full swing. It certainly feels like Pyranha is taking over the world out here on the creeks. Everyone is either paddling the Burn (or Everest) these days or wants one!
The Everest loves BC creeks!

One Mile One Month
Me and Marks dog Inca enjoying the sun
This summer I have been asked to be apart of an awesome expedition out here in Norway. As you all know Norway has become well known for its waterfalls and steep creeks. The amount of drops seems endless. well this year we will find out.
Our aim is to descend 1 mile of vertical white water in 1 month. during the summer over a period of 31 combined days. Mark Burton, Ed Cornfield and Martin Vollen and myself will huck, fall and throw ourselves off as many waterfalls as we can. We need to average 42.5 feet each daily and as a drop can only be counted once this means a lot of classic and new runs. It should make for an awesome trip and I will be reporting as we go here so you can follow us. You can also catch us on our website linked below:

getting used to the handling on my new Everest
we are just waiting for the melt now which will soon hit Telemark so until then I´m getting out as much as I can in my new Everest which is going to be my weapon on this expedition and from what i´ve seen so far is an awesome boat.
Enjoy your spring, I know I will!

Morocco – Part 2
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.
