Santo domingo river

It has been a long time since I saw some of the first photos of the Santo Domingo. Ben Stookesberry and Jesse Combs on their epic first descent of what is probably the steepest kayaking section of the world. There’s nothing similar to see the…

Kicking off the Whitewater Grand Prix

Being asked to compete in the Whitewater Grand Prix this year was an incredible privilege. I figured out that I had been invited just a few weeks before the event, but I was set on making it happen. I had to finish my classes two weeks early, figure a way around work responsibilities and raise enough money to finance the trip. It was a lot of work, but now that I'm here in Chile things could not be any…

Because when you go hard sometimes you get screwed...

Teigdal is one of the best sections I've run in norway. Lots of rapids, drops and sick slides. Not further than 30 min from Voss is my favorite one so far and got a lot of potential... still a super stout first D in there for the ones who want to go big and doesn't care about landing on a few rocks!…

Earning turns on the first Raquette release of the summer

If there’s one classic Adam Herzog line, this might be it -- “Don’t be a fucking pussy.”

It’s applicable to almost every situation in which Adam finds himself, and the Raquette put-in is no exception.

“But we can drive shuttle and be back in ten minutes,” Alan said. Alan is built like a malnourished sparrow, and was wearing brand new skate shoes instead of river booties.

“Don’t be a fucking pussy. It’s faster to hike.”…

my 1st week in norway!

I arrived to Norway 6 days ago. I always wanted to visit this country but never had the chance, now together with my good friend Mathias Fossum I am getting to paddle some of the rapids that I always have seen on the videos. I have jumped on his van and we are roadtripping all around norway, during this few days we have paddled over 9 rivers and competed in the norweigan cup at trøndelagsrunden where I took the first place with two…

1st descent of (100 ft.) Puma falls, Chile

Puma falls has always been a big one, a true 100 footer located on the river Fuy. This is the biggest waterfall ever ran In Chile. I’ve been looking at this waterfall for the last 2 years, been to that place so many times… but never had the perfect water level together with a big crew to provide a good safety/footage.…

Upper Cherry Creek, California

You all have probably heard of the infamous Cherry Creek in California. If you haven't it's a High Sierra classic that you should put on your to-do list. I was lucky enough to paddle the upper section last summer along with Lane Jacobs, Louis Geltman, Jay Gifford, and Seth Swallen. The river was pristine, the scenery gorgeous, and the whitewater incredible. I put together a video with footage from my GoPro Hero video camera and also included some photos that Seth Swallen…

The "todo" palguin

Due to the low water levels of Chile we had to hurry up on the todo palguin day. I was the only one this year wanting to try to stomp that beast, luckily It went better than 2 years ago when I boofed it, swam and pretty much ate shit! I had a sweet line and a "soft" landing. Super stoked for that... we then kept going together with Anton and EG all the way to lower palguin running medio and everything except of turbina and brendan's rapid. Todo's palguin are probably one of the stoutest runs…

on the road again...

After running the dirty Gerd we jumped on Evan and Anton car "blue balls" and droved straight to the nilahue, the most perfect slide/waterfall in the World. All the area is fucked because of the eruption of the volcano Puyehue, it all started on the month of June and still going on strong. The water is contaminated, the cows and animals are dying, and if it keeps this way the people living in the area gonna end up with black lung…

Mistassini Rapid... Whitewater Grand Prix

Greetings All!

Well, as the paddling season wraps up, I've been looking back at some media from what was truly an epic year in the paddling world.  One event that I was honoured to be a part of this year was the Whitewater Grand Prix.  You've probably seen alot of the competition media from this event, but the paddling that we did in between the competitions was every bit as incredible.  One of the highlights for me was certainly…

Tatlow Creek!

Tatlow Creek is 100% classic BC class V.  There's a brutal 4x4 road, heinous bushwacking, huge mandatory drops, and giant trees that you need to boof next to.  You will also find crystal clear water that you can drink right out of the river, two 20 footers, two 30 footers, a 40 footer, and an absolutely spectacular gorge that you would be hard-pressed to beat for scenery.  If you are up to the challenge, it will deliver and then some!

 

The hike-in is up a mountain, and then a…
