Automn is slowly sneeking into the alps, but there are still some fun rivers to
run. The last two weekends I found the time to drive down there. We were blessed
with lots of sunshine and quite high waterlevels on the Ötztaler and Venter
Ache.

Green Race Training
Hi y’all. I dug up an old Pyranha friend that some of you might remember–the Creek280. Remember when it was a short boat? Well, now its considered a long boat and I plan on racing the Green in it this year. I was really afraid of it at first because it seemed so long and pointy, but I was actually really surprised at how well it handled. I think it will be the perfect boat for me to race in–its very fast and stable without being so long its unweildy. I usually paddle a small Burn (which I agree with DMP on–its the best most ingenious boat ever and I love it!), but I have made the transition to the Creek280 for training, only to make the switch again in New York next week to the Ammo…Thanks Pyranha for so many excellent fun kayaks to paddle and keep me happy!

Burn Baby Burn
It has been a wonderful summer and fall is upon us in the southeast and I am so happy to be paddling the Burn. I absolutely love this boat and I just wanted to share with everyone what a fine creeking craft this boat is. I paddled the micro but was between sizes then went to the H2 but it just wasn’t the boat for creeking then I went on to the H3-245 where I was happy but was between the 235 and 245 and then-THE BURN. The small fits me perfectly and is so manuverable, stable and super fun on the creeks and rivers. I have introduced the small burn to many ladies that are looking for a creek boat and it has been a huge hit. The ladies finally have a creek boat that fits!!! Just wanted to say thanks to the boys at Pyranha for the BURN!~!

Pyranha invades US National Whitewater Center
The Pyranha crew was invited to the new US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC for a day of checking out the new whitewater park, demoing some boats, and doing a little bit of racing. The course has three channels- a beginner channel, a freestyle channel, and a competition channel for racing, and a conveyor belt to get back to the top. While “concrete kayaking” has been going on in Europe, it’s something relatively new in the US, and the smooth channel and fast water and the idea of just riding the conveyor back to the top took a bit of getting used to. We all agreed that the course is awesome, and will only get better with some tweaking. Here are some pictures:

WOW! What a year so far!
Hey everyone just thought i’d share the exciting times I’ve had in 2006 so far. I started the year off right by moving out of cold snowy jackson, wyoming and to the slightly warmer yet RAINY Hood River oregon. In Hood river we had over 30 days of straight rain at one point and got on lots of good whitewater. Throughout the rest of the spring I was lappin up the little white sometimes three times a day!!!
I spent much of March and April exploring this awesome Island off the B.C. coast called Vancouver Island! the canyons were dark and deep and the drops were amazing!

The Endless BC Summer!
There is nothing that gets me more fired up about kayaking than being fox holed into some remote gorge and knowing that I’m one of a select few that gets the pleasure to take on the scenery and spirit of these deep cracks in the Earth. Second to that is reading stories and seeing pictures of other boaters across the world doing the exact same thing. When I scoll through this site, it is obvious that there have been many epic missions this summer. All of us united by the stoke of kayaking and the lifestyle that goes along with it. Excellent work team…it has been an amazing season. And an extra huge shout out to Pyranha this year for producing the Burn and 420! With a record snowpack coming into the summer and an absurd amount of bluebird days, we had one of the best seasons I can remember in BC. Here are a few shots from some of the summer 06 missions!
