Long Live the Rock

This is a photo of the rock on the staircase section. Someone has placed an orange "protest" cone that reads long live the rock.

Lower Sixth Water Creek

We fired up Lower Sixth Water Creek. It was a blast, and for this time of year it was great the rain helped out a ton with the flow. Video on the way. 

Ogden Narrows Race

On September, 25th 2010 I paddled in the Ogden Narrows Wildwater Race. Here are some photos from that day.

Lower Mesa Falls Today

I am in Idaho about to huck Lower Mesa Falls for the first time. This should be interesting.

Hand Paddling

Recently I tried hand paddles. Then I decided to step it up, and try webbed gloves. They have less purchase on the water, and it forces you to use your boat more. Then I decide to go all out, and try bare hand surfing, and paddling. I am convinced that bare hand paddling is the purest form of kayaking out there :) Video soon to come.

Colorado Bound

I may be Colorado bound. Two days of running quality Class IV's it should be great :)
