I put this blog post up few weeks back about an intense run in Southwestern BC, Fear Canyon of the Elaho.  Here is the video of my first run down the river...

I have to say that the Nomad 8.5 is definitely my happy place for large volume and small.  It is an incredibly versatile and stable boat, and there is nothing that I would rather paddle when things get intimidating.  

Hope you enjoy!
