Joy and Exuberance on the South Fork of the Kings
Because I think Taylor Cavin is one of the funnier people I know (and his description so well put), I am going to let his boof.com post introduce this blog...
"At 4pm on Saturday, June 16th an intrepid group of swash-buckling crusaders, loaded their safety gear, fishing tackle, and ukuleles into their kayaks and embarked upon an episode of "Myth Busters" to de-bunk the fables of the South Kings. What they found (at 800 cfs at Roger's Crossing) was a terrific, spectacularly…

Surfing the Bore Tide on the Turnagain Arm, Alaska
A bore tide is a phenomenon that happens only in a few places around the world. Here on the Turnagain Arm in Alaska is the largest bore tide in North America. I was lucky enough to catch the bore tide a day after the highest tidal exchange. The video was shot with an HD GoPro hero. Enjoy.

The North Fork of the Payette hosted one of the sickest extreme races that the sport has ever seen this past weekend!

I started running big waterfalls when I turned 18 and moved out to Oregon. I loved the thrill and the focus that it demanded. Taking those risks, running big waterfalls, pushed me to inject that kind of passion and drive into every aspect of my life. It got me to where…

I can't think of a weekend this whole year where I didn't go on some sort of adventure, from back country skiing in the Northern Cascades to kayaking trips across the Pacific Northwest. I know it's a bit late, but here's a post from a few weekends ago.
