New Zealand, or Okere Falls, NZ if you really wanted to narrow it down, has, over the past 5-8 years produced some of the World's fastest kayakers. If you've ever been to the kaituna river, or participated in any event in…

After 2 years of failed / aborted Cali trips, I was finally able to pull it together. Everything came together, and on top of that Mother nature stepped up to the plate to play as well with a 200% snowpack in the Sierra's.

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 went with the $7, 6 foot long 2X4's for roof racks so we could fit 5 kayaks on the roof. Then drive / live… Continue

Skookumchuck is just one of those waves ...

If you haven't been there, you've heard all the rumours, seen the video and photos, and are dreaming of the day you get to surf that legendary wave.

A few years ago, if some one mentioned Quebec, a large part of the paddling community would have no idea what / where you were talking about. But in resent years Quebec has been making a name as a quality white water destination. And its about time, this place has it all, steep creeks, large drops, big volume, massive waves and everything between right down to scenic class 2-3.
