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!

Sweet September in the Southeast!

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.

Some Pics from the Mighty Nene

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!!

Mighty Nene Peak Challenge

Just got back in from the mighty Nene event in Northampton where they hosted the third Peak Challenge of the year. Blessed with sunshine Saturday start with the freestyle heats to decide who goes through to the semi’s, myself and Jamie making it through. Then Sunday started with the Boater X, which we had to run with our Kayaks 50m to the top of the course then paddle down making various gates and tricks. Jamie took 1st in the C1 and i took 1st in the K1. An hour later and we are both lined up in the eddy ready to fight for a place in the final of the K1 freestyle, Jamie made it through and finished 4th and i made it to 6th place. Jamie then went on to claim first place in the mens C1, so not a bad weekend for us.
  Thanks to the Nene Boyz n Girlz for a great weekend

New Course in Germany

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…
