Flat Water Creeking

by | Jan 21, 2014 | Cruise 10, Journey, Recreational/Touring, Rogue

Creeking usually involves descending very steep low-volume whitewater. But there is an alternative flat-water version that will appeal if you are not hooked on adrenalin and not looking to hurl yourself down some steep ravine. Many watersheds have quiet backwaters...

Mexico part 1

by | Jan 21, 2014 | Whitewater

Creek Sides went to Mexico this year and what we found was… some of the best whitewater on earth. Starting in the Valles area we found a nearly endless supply of waterfalls, from fun to massive… a few are even scary. Then we headed to the Veracruz and...

New Horizons

by | Jan 21, 2014 | Whitewater

As we enter a new year there is nothing I’d like so much as to be on new rivers. Life on the other hand is a game of balance. It’s a year to tip the balance back to family, and spend my first full holiday season stateside in too many years. It’s not...

Explore your back yard! Braver Wave 2.0

by | Jan 17, 2014 | Whitewater

As boats have improved, kayakers have learned fun and new skills, and new roads/trails have been opened, it’s worth taking the time to re-explore your back yard.  Often times, runs that were just too log-choked to enjoy may have now washed clean.  Sometimes new access...
