Every year our family participates in the Shoshone New Years Day Paddle to kick of the new paddling season! It was our 3rd year joining the 30+ Colorado boaters for this epic day and we plan on making it a family tradition. This year was Cardy’s first time ever...

Cold Day in the Zen!

by | Mar 30, 2013 | Whitewater, Zen

After the 3rd coldest January in Idaho history, I finally got out on the water for the first time in February. My dad and I drove up to the Payette River to go kayaking. I was hoping to be able to do a run on the North Fork of the Payette, but as we drove up the...

Crossing Borders

by | Feb 25, 2013 | Whitewater

Paperwork, isn’t that what we are trying to escape while on vacation? Unfortunately it has caught up with us in Argentina, and delayed us for a few days. Thankfully that’s behind us now and we head into Chile. Views are incredible as to head to the border...

1st paddle of 2013! Surfing the Karma.

After waiting and waiting most of the winter to get out on moving water my day finally came and it was a good one! It was sunny, probably 38° in coastal Maine at one of my favorite spots, Blue Hill Falls. This is where i learned how to kayak, it is an exceptional...

I just returned home after my 4th trip to Uganda.  Uganda is by far my favorite winter playboating destination: warm water, big waves, big rapids, tropical paradise of birds, animals, and plant life, easy logistics, and great paddlers from all over the world make a...

EJ, Clay and my 10 year Reunion on the Nile

by | Feb 16, 2013 | Whitewater

It is hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since my first trip to the Nile. Really it feels like it was just a few years ago that we were first here. So many things have changed but the essence of this place and the river remains the same. I remember so clearly my...

Winter Paddling Weekend

by | Feb 9, 2013 | Whitewater

California has been pretty dry lately, as is pretty common for January. But last week we had just enough precipitation to bring in some fun local runs for the weekend. I love getting on new runs, but sometimes it’s fun to have a low stress weekend on something close...
