I picked up Taylor Cote at the Grand Junction Airport and we headed to Buena Vista. The Arkansas River was low when we got there and paddled in the top hole for a couple of days. As the level came up the top hole got pretty sticky and the 4 other features started to come in. All the features there are really fun especially the new wave they built. The comp was held in the new feature. It was a steep and fast wave with 2…

After some epic surfing on the Ottawa River it was time to head for Norway.

This is my second spring season coming back to Quebec, specifically the Saguenay area, in search of Quebec's amazing whitewater. Last year we had great success in finding / exploring un-run rivers, with 4 first descents, and we had a bunch more on our list that we…

I finally got to experience some Cali rivers and creeks. It was everything I thought it was and more. Amazing scenery, great drops, and was so much fun! The best part of it all was I finally did my first self support overnighter on Deer Creek which is a class IV with maybe three V's.

I was a little nervous about it at first being fully committed to a creek was a tad bit overwhelming for me at…

This past weekend I made it out for a early season Upper Elk run, a short exciting run in a boxed in canyon with on of the best 40 foot waterfalls I have ever paddled. We had a big crew of 8 including 4 first timers. By the end of the weekend we had 7 runs of the falls, Leap of Faith, including 4 first timers. I've talked about the Upper Elk before so if you are interested in learning more click…

With days flying by and the Ottawa at prime low water levels the surf just kept on providing amazing sessions. As the water dropped lower I moved my surfing from the goods of McKoy’s to the famous Garb Wave. This thing

is so sweet! You can do every trick and with it being in my back yard I could

paddle two and three times a day!…
