Cali in July

Once the Sierra and High Sierra runs have dried out, we have to depend on dam releases to get our paddling fix. One of my favorite summer dam releases in California is the Cherry Creek section of the Tuolomne. Whenever I get a day off work, I head up to paddle.

Water in the Chelan Gorge!

Last Sunday, 24 paddlers from all over Oregon and Washington headed to the Chelan Gorge for a much anticipated recreational release. The river was running at 400 cfs which was just about a perfect medium flow. The gorge is three-tenths of a mile long and stacked full of class IV, V slides, boulder gardens and waterfalls.



Thanks so much to the Chelan Public Utility District and American Whitewater for negotiating these releases. Check out photos of the run at… Continue

After getting the final pieces of my Morewood put back together we took off for the Northeast. Peter, with his extensive background in the mountain biking/dirt jumping world knew of many ultimate lift… Continue

My California Summer

I have officially been back from Cali for three weeks now and while I missed out on some of the big runs (mainly Upper Cherry and Middle Kings) that I wanted to get, I still had an amazing month of boating out there and am already planning my trip back in 2010. Just wanted to post up some pictures of the highlights of my trip.

Prices

Does anyone have a price list that would have the cost of a Dagger Crossover and Dagger Anamas? I know these boats are no longer manufactured but they were stolen from us and will be going to court soon and need the original prices of these two boat. Our boats were recovered several weeks after they were stolen although they had been painted, serial #'s taken off and banged up badly they are still usable. Thanks to anyone that can help us with this info. leslie

BC big water and the Ultimate Park and Huck

A few weeks ago I got to get my big water and big drop fix. I met up with a small crew near Clearwater BC for some high water action in the warm rivers of the area. Some nice big waves, a few scenic canyons, some nasty whirlpools and eddies and a few undercuts make for the perfect outing.

Back to rafting in Revelstoke I managed to get a crew together after… Continue

Environmental Responsibility as a Whitewater Kayaker

Environmental practices and responsibility are hotly debated subjects in the world that we live in today, and they are something that I struggle with almost daily. On one hand, I love to take incredible kayaking trips to exotic places in the world, skipping from plane to ferry to truck, and then jumping on a beautiful, foreign river. On the other hand, I feel like a hypocrite telling others how incredible these wild places in our world are, because to some extent I am destroying them by using… Continue

A day in the life...

Hey all! Finally getting my online life back up to date after some traveling and avoiding of the internet world. I have a weird concept that bragging about my travels and adventures will initiate some karmic reprucussions in some way, shape or form, so i will try my best to share my experiences with you all in a way that makes you want to seek out your own adventures and experiences of your own. (please be safe and stay within your limits!) Here we go. Heres the rundown of the day in Colorado… Continue

Climate Change investigation and West/Upper Cherry Creeks

Since we got back from our Bolivia mission this April, Trip and me have been working hard on the film we’re releasing this fall. The concept is to investigate climate change through the eyes of whitewater kayakers, so we’re traveling to watersheds in B.C., Washington, California, (and Bolivia), talking to scientists studying the effects of climate change in each area and investigating how these changes will affect communities downstream. In California, for example, snowmelt from the Yosemite… Continue

First Descents for Everyone!

The nice thing about first descents is that they can come in many forms, shapes, and sizes. A first descent does not have to be some crazy hard river in the middle of nowhere in some remote foreign country. It can be as simple as being on a river no one in your group has done before or finally checking out that creek in your backyard you’ve always wondered about. Whatever the situation is I have discovered, through trial and error, some pretty good ground rules that almost always apply when… Continue
