How to: The art of scouting and making good decisions.

Scouting is just another term for decision-making; in essence, you are looking at what lies ahead and deciding what course to take. A major key in progressing from class 2-3 whitewater into the realm of class 4-5 is the ability to make smart decisions.  That being said, good decision-making is not something you are…See More

Kaituna Enduro Race

If I had to pick one river in the entire world that I though hosted the most number of kayak races per year ... it would have to be, without a doubt, the Kaituna River.

White Water Grand Prix photo look back

Without a doubt the Highlight of 2011 was the White Water Grand Prix.

1st Descent Waihi Stream, NZ's sickest

Waihi Stream is a Kayaker's dream, a 1km stretch of whitewater that drops 100m's over smooth Papa (A soft, clay like rock found in abundance on NZ's east coast), with road acess put-in and take-out. Josh Neilson and Matt Danes had scouted this Jem a couple years back and have been waiting for a rain event big enough to over-flow the dam at the put-in.I had arrived in New Zealand the day before and as always the boys were fired up to see another familar face back in Okere Falls. When Sanga (Sam…See More
