Its a hard job but someone has to do it!

With the excellent tides and opportunity for a film crew and speed boat, obviously we jumped at the chance of a Pyranha and P&H photoshoot at the famous Bitches tiderace in Pembrokeshire.

Setting out just before sunrise meant we got to see this awesome sight, and arrived at the race as it was building, giving us plenty of time to set up the equipment and get everyone used to the features.

With a full range of brand new play boats from Pyranha and P&H (yes play boats designed specifically for the sea) we were armed with enough toys to really get the most out of the day.

Yes that is the very first Carbon Molan, paddled by Bren Orton.

Enjoy some epic kayaking, savage carnage and retarded stunts from Chile winter 2010-2011Chile 2010-2011

The title rings true in so many ways.  But lately, “in a boating way” – even more so.  Cali goes hand in hand with SUNSHINE and GRANITE.  But given that some end-of-the-world storms have been blasting us this winter, it is now RAIN and BASALT.  So staying indoors, breaking out the maps and exploring some new low elevation runs, is the name of the game. (and by low I mean low as in 200′ above sea level).  So here is video and here for more words and pictures. The sun finally broke out yesterday, yeah.

The winter here in Colorado has been a long one.  So long in fact that lately I have spent the countless hours watching kayaking videos and splashing cold water in my face.  October 28th 2010 marked the last time my ass touched the seat of my Pyranha Molan…until this weekend!

After hearing from my friend Leif Anderson that the whitewater park in Casper, Wyoming was in, I dropped everything headed up to meet him in Fort Collins.  Leif, his fiancee Natalie and I rallied through a savage snow storm on a four and a half hour drive north to Casper for a weekend of freezing cold play-boating.

I want to give a huge shout out to the Schmitt family for hooking up a place to crash, T-roy for letting me borrow his M Molan, John Quartana for the Go-Pro and Leif and Natalie for these photos, hope you enjoy them…edit coming soon!

Evening session with Leif

Throwing around the Molan on a puny feature

First loop in a while...felt great!

Not positive, but I think this is a BROWN trout, almost getting as much air as me in the Molan... 🙂

Trying to keep my head dry.

Here’s a quick but funny edit from our last day in Chile this season on the rio Fu.
