Freestyle Kayaking: How to Mc'Nasty

This month i’m going to teach you how to do the McNasty.

 

It’s a great move, you can start it from many different positions and setups, it’s quick to do, impressive to see and is one of the highest scoring moves.

 

The technique I’m going to show you here is the most commonly used one and is the one I use nearly…

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…

New Hampshire to the Yukon in Three Weeks

In mid May, I packed up my stuff, three pairs of skis, two pairs of ski boots, my kayaking gear, two kayaks, two mountain bikes, and my dog and drove west. Well, west and then north. 6500 miles in the following three weeks. But it was not all for naught -- along the way, I did a high water trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon for a friend's bachelor party and paddled in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and BC.…

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…

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…

Postpile Beatdown!

What a summer in Cali! The goods just never stopped. I was blessed with the opportunity to get on the Middle San Joaquin again this year and what an amazing place this is. Day one of the trip there's this awesome drop that has a sticky hole in the beginning and then a rolling falls that requires a good boof stroke. Well I blew the line up top and paid the price at the bottom. It seems that most of the footage out there is people stylin'…

We Get Emails - Dagger Axiom Review

We love it when customers take the time to randomly send us their feedback on our boats! Check out this one we received yesterday from Brian on the Dagger Axiom. While we get a lot of reviews for new paddlers loving the boat, we also find that old hands at the sport are loving it as well.

French Broad River Clean-up

This past weekend I joined American Whitewater for a river clean-up on section nine of the French Broad. River clean-ups give you a great sense for what people think of as trash and what they just throw into the environment. Apparently chewing tobacco cans and most plastic bottles are thought of as disposable, major bummer there:( The list of the more interesting ranged from fishing rods to motorcycle helmets to fisher price toys and of course car tires (I think the total was close to twenty).… Continue

Today is World Water Day--Celebrate a River!



As paddlers, we have a special connection to the rivers, lakes and streams where we all love to play. We anxiously await spring runoff and consistent winter storms to fill our favorite streams with the fresh water that allows us to do what we love--get outdoors and go for a paddle.



The freshwater that feeds our rivers also sustains our lives--we drink it, use it to irrigate fields and water gardens, use it to manufacture goods and… Continue
