After months of waiting I finally got a chance to race the Speeder. The event was the second annual Schroon River Scramble. It’s a small local event that is held in Warrensburg, NY. The course is a 3/4 mile sprint through some really fun class III. In 2006 I got second place.Â

The Ammo is Magic
About three months back I was talking with Jim Hagar and he was talking up the Ammo like crazy. At the time I thought that the boat was kinda odd and I was unsure where I would really want to use it. Well as the Spring run-off starts to kick off in BC, the Ammo is maybe the most sought after boat in the quiver. It does so many things well and has made some of our local runs that are not that fun in a playboat or a creek boat ultra fun. This boat has so much to offer!

Creek Playin with the Ammo
Rivers are flowing nicely in the Northwest and staying at consistant levels. Been trying to keep things interesting by taking the Ammo on some class V. I have been impressed how solid it is and how well you can throw it around. Big loops for sure!

Between duty and the search for water in France
What can you do, if you had to write your thesis, but really wanted to go out and paddle?! Just do both! After spending hours in the copyshop, I went to France, visited my twin sister, studied during the day and went playboating on Hawai sur Rhone in the evening. What a faszinating wave!
After two weeks friends of mine came and we spent the following time kayaking in the Jura and Pyrenees. We weren`t lucky with the waterlevels, but fortunately we had our climbing gear with us. So we mixed low water runs with days of climbing and ended up having a really good time.

Collegiate National Championships in Reno
BoaterCross Race
Loopin the 4Twenty
Headed down to the Collegiate National Championships in Reno this weekend. Ended up making it to the semi-finals in the boatercross, it was a physical event with people taking paddles to the face quite a bit. Luckily no one got seriously injured. Levels were a bit low for the play spot I ended up one spot out of the final rounds. Won some money in the casino and had a good time for sure. Looking forward to the Reno River Fest in a couple of weeks.
