Tyler Fox BC Creeking

After a couple months of "Work" and lots of play up on the Ottawa River, it was time for a good ol'road trip to find some sweet boating and satisfy that familiar urge boiling up again. We loaded my wagon and headed West. The road trip is a staple in a kayakers lifestyle. You load a questionable car, way more full then it should be. We went with the $7, 6… Continue

Taylor Cavin Poe Tsang Poe

Okay, psych! This blog post is not really about a gnarly river of the Himalayas. It is about a neglected section of the N Feather that many Cali boaters have passed up and driven over, denied flow in the dewatered canyon downstream of the first bridge. Right now the plumbers are working on the pipes in the Poe Powerhouse, so we get to go whitewater boat riding.

Peter Csonka Daming the nile premiere in Paddler cafe

Finally, after a long time I was able to finish my movie from Uganda. We’ve been there three times before, so this time I wanted to make a movie not just about kayaking. Kayaking on the Nile is an awesome experience but unfortunately this one of a kind opportunity will probably soon come to an end. If the actual damming goes on like it does right now, the glorious rapids of the Nile will be destroyed in one or two years. Some of them have already disappeared, others have been changed irreversibl… Continue

Webmaster Snow Kayaking

For those of you that get tired of that pesky feeling of trying to move forward in water that isn't frozen, it looks like you're in luck. Check out this video from MPORA with plenty of gnarly footage of a kayak coming down a mountain. Notice the pure finesse. I would say "paddling" down a mountain, but not entirely certain that's what's going on here. You can digg this video as well if you'd like. If you're in the market for a snow kayak, you can contact us. Not sure exactly what we're going t… Continue

I am finally established as a "Vossing", the norwegian, official term for a person living in Voss, the hucking capital of Norway. At least temporarily. There are a few people from around the world that has chosen this little place tucked in between fjords, mountains and waterfalls as their home: Allan Ellard and Mikey Abbot, Lizz Bell, Mark and Michelle Basso, Andy Philips, Benjamin Hjort, Eirik Øvreide... Some extremely solid names from the top end of the kayaking hucking/expedition world, and… Continue

Taylor Cote A Day as the Maipo's Ragdoll

Putting on my gear in hurry, running from my last class period, preparing for what could possibly be one of the biggest things I have run in awhile. The adrenaline the guys had been feeding off of for hours now had finally started reaching my veins, I was ready for this. I was excited, I was intense on my mission for the day, I was ready to kick some butt and show the guys how it’s done because I was the only girl on this run. Driving up the road everyone’s faces were glued to the windows, watch… Continue

Todd Baker Holtwood PA November 1st with Todd Baker

All the rain we had here in the Mid-Atlantic brought the Susquehanna River up to about 6.8ft last weekend. Some of my friends from the band Tuckahoe Ridge took a trip down to Lancaster county to do some play boating. This was a pretty low water Holtwood day but the weather was perfect. I think this play spot is called pleasant surprise. You can find out more about Holtwood at Jeremy Lauks's site… Continue
