Normally in January you can only go Skiing or Snowboarding in Austria, but the warm temperatures and some heavy rain made some hidden creeks around Salzburg rising …

Myself entering ” Double Drop”.. the first one is very tricky because its very very shallow ….

It is with great pride I announce that on the 12th of January me and my team successfully completed the world record dingy decent of the middle palguin. I think we are really on to something here.

Typically December is great month to be a kayaker in Alabama. Frequent rainfall and mild temperatures usually result in lots of river days without much discomfort. However, December 2010 started out with a deep freeze that swept mercilessly across the southeastern United States. Alabama is typically around five to ten degrees warmer than the rest of the southeast paddling scene, but even here nighttime temperatures dipped into the single digits and daytime temperatures stayed below freezing for days on end.
What’s a paddler to do when the water is low and the weather is unkind? The same thing we do the rest of the year, of course! Go kayaking! The lack of rainfall has left many rivers too low, but Little River Canyon in the northeastern corner of Alabama remains runnable at quite low flows. A trip down Little River Canyon at higher flows is usually characterized by pushy water and big holes (lots of fun in its own right). However, at low flows it channelizes between the huge boulders and creates a run that is more the style of a low volume creek and is a local favorite when most other rivers in the region are too low.

Well as you have seen from Nicole’s posts, Demshitz have been in Chile hitting up all the great rivers over here. But DemBritz have been here too, representing Ol’ Blighty. So I thought I would give you a few photos from us too. I have managed to meet up with lots of the American pyranha kids like Dave, Nicole, Jared, etc

Chile is full of clean, beautiful rivers and when the sun shines, there is no better place to be than hitting up one of the many park and hucks! It beats the Upper Dart in December anyway!
Me scaring myself on the 70 foot waterfall on the famous middle Palguin
There are plenty of boaters here to meet up with, and its easy to hire boats. You should definitely add Chile to your list of places to come – as the only British kayaker in Pucon right now, I need back-up to make fun of the Americans! The pictures speak for themselves 🙂
