(No title)

Hi everyone!

Creeking in Quebec is alot of fun and a local TV show called “La nouvelle école”  (the new school) took creeking as one of their show topics. 

This show was on air for a week in a large par of the Quebec Province, Canada.

If you wanna see a part of the show you can go to this link

and you’ll see 5 minutes of it.  It will give you a glimpse of what creeking is like back home!

Hanging out Down South

After a long hard journey down to New Zealand im lucky enough to be traveling around enjoying seeing the sights and paddling some awsome creeks. The classic heli runs are a little high at the moment leaving plenty of time for other stuff.

Putting the Ammo through its paces

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been putting the Ammo through its paces, and I couldn’t be happier with how the boat performs.  You can read my detailed analysis of the boat, and check out the video on ChasingRain.com

Looking back…

Another paddling season is comming to an end in the province of Quebec. A long winter awaits us! But before solid water falls from the sky, here are a few of the good moments of my 2006 season.

It started off in April when I left the snowy Montreal with a few friends to head down into the south eastern states.  A month of paddling was in front of us!  Ouf! what relief after a long and cold winter.

East coast rain and snow

Rain all along the East coast has brought many great runs and play spots. I’ve been on a pretty good role, Friday it was raining hard in DC so no work all play. I headed up to wild and wonderful West Virgina to run the North Fork of the Blackwater. That night myself and a few friends headed over to the put in of Red Creek about a 30 minutes drive to camp and run the creek in the morning….

Alternatives to snow

Launching at Cresta 1

My new home is 250m from the Ski Station, and the season pass is here, but not jet the snow. While i wait for the snow to come, i have to talk some friends into it, that there are still some possibilities for paddling around. Now, i could convince some, and we even found an un-run stretch…

Small Ammo Review

I have been out on several rivers testing Pyranha’s new small Ammo this fall. Basically, I think the boat is HOT! Its the perfect boat for those class III and IV creeks and rivers with boofs and playspots. Its a fun little sports car that small folks are gonna dig.

I wrote up a full review on our website. Check it out at: www.rivergypsies.com.

Ashlu River

To many kayakers the Ashlu River is on the must hit list in Southwest British Columbia and to everyone else it should be put on that list immediately. Simply stated the Ashlu is one of the finest pieces of whitewater in the world. With five unique sections and Tatlow Creek, the Ashlu pulls rank as the best river in the Sea to Sky corridor. The irony is that this gem is now becoming part of BC Hydro’s massive scam to privatize the power industry and turn over the control of the public’s river systems to private corporations. This fall we spent a bunch of days on the Box Canyon of the Ashlu filming and photographing a wild and scenic canyon that will never be the same again.
