It has been a busy month out here. Finishing up the World Cup, Gauley Fest, and a little Green in between. Jeremy and I decided to finish the remainder of the month after the Black Rodeo-with a Team road trip. We picked up new Team member Dave Fusilli and the three of us headed south to Asheville.

I was in Ashvile on the east coast of the States last month for a friends wedding and I have been meaning to send a shout out an big thanks to Dinver McClure from Pyranha U.S, for helping me out with boats and showing me how to run the Green in true local style….
Cheers and thanks Dinver, if ya want to come out to Norway I can return the favor….

Here’s a few of pics from the Peak UK White Water Challenge at the Nene White Water Centre last weekend. The course is a small artificial course with the main play feature being good for pretty much any hole move going. People were hitting Phonix Monkeys, McNasties and all sorts with us C1 boys schooling the kayakers scores in the heats by over 200 points!!

Last week a couple of friends of mine and I were allowed to do a couple of test runs down the new artificial course in Leipzig/Germany. Actually, there are two courses, a little and a big one, but they are not officially open yet because there are still many things to be done at the sight.
Once it’s open though I’m sure it will great fun for all the freestyle and slalom kayakers out there, as the course is pretty steep and has relatively much water on it for an artificial one. When they have finished adjusting the obstacles, there will definitely be some nice play holes and waves on course and international freestyle events could be held there. I’m looking forward to it!
Unfortunately I have no pics so far, I might post some later…

Andria and I have had an excellent year on the road so far working on new guidebooks and paddling as much as possible. You can read trip reports of our travels in the NEWS SECTION of our WEBSITE, but I thought I would post a few photos up here for folks to check out.

With the World Cup of Freestyle Kayaking making a stop in Watertown, New York there was a lot going on, and a lot of new people in town. Everyone seemed to be enjoying all that the great city of Watertown has to offer. The world Cup seemed like a great event and a great idea, but I’ll let Jeremy and Matt tell you all about that.Â
Â
I managed to sneak off with a few friends to check out the Eagle section of the Beaver River. It is located about 1 hour East of Watertown. I call it the South Silver of the East.  In about a half a mile it drops almost 200 feet over 4 separate rapids. The weather was terrible so the pictures aren’t all that spectacular.  I did four laps, walking back to the top each time. It was so fun I couldn’t stop. Â

Taking some time off from school this year opened up my schedule for some epic kayaking trips. Starting off the year in Ecuador with a month-long kayak vacation set the bar for the months to come.
