the EVEREST

the new kayak from Pyranha. The Everest is the new creekboat to join the Pyranha line-up. It is going to be a specialist expedition boat with lots of room, softened edges, more rocker and more volume than the Burn.

Take a sneak peak at the Everest...



I can't wait to get one of these babies out on the water!!!

M-Wave Sessions

So the M-Wave has been flowing now for a couple of weeks and I've been lucky enough to get there twice so far this summer.

The first trip wasn't so great as I had just gotten stitches in my elbow and it was super tender. After half an hour I whacked it on my boat causing it to bleed for a while, thus ending my day. The second trip was a little more successful, with my stitches out and arriving to perfect water levels I had the best session I've ever had at M-Wave.

Here is a video from both trips.

The boaters include Jonny Meyers, Alex Hotze, Nicole Mansfield and Myself

Enjoy...

2007 Colorado Summer

So here is a little video just recapping all my boating from this summer in Colorado. The Rivers include... the Big South, the N.Fork of the S.Ark, Lake Creek, Treasure Canyon, the M-Wave and the Salida playpark. Unfortunately my buddy Jared has the video of my run down Yule Creek, which was my favourite run so it is not included in the video.

The video is also a bit of a shout out to my sponsors and friends & family for helping me to be where I am today, especially my girlfriend Nicole...

Anyway enjoy the video

the BIG South

After I finished work on Saterday afternoon I was hanging out at CKS in Buena Vista when buddy and CKSquad manager Chris Menges showed up with the Crested Butte boys (Larsen, Milineke, Milo & Micheal), all about to head to the Big South to camp the night and run demshitz on Sunday. I quickly got hold of my boss who was feeling generous and let me have the day off. Lucky I had all my creeking gear in the car but all my overnighting gear was back in Salida which meant getting it would add another hour of driving onto the already 4-5hour drive ahead of us. So luckily my buddy and CKS back of house guru Joe lent me abunch of warm stuff including a tent & sleeping bag... cheers Joe. We arrived at the Big South takeout at about 8:30pm where we found little space to camp but we managed to snake a camp spot from some other kayakers... thanks

After a nice night of sleep (thanks to Joe) I was super pumped up the next morning & ready to run some gnargnar. The night before we had met up with Alex Hotze & his friend Kyle who joined our group on the river. On the river the group was seeming a little big & moving quite slow. So we decided to split the group in 2. Alex, Kyle, Larsen and I went first as we wanted to bomb most of it without scouting and we planned to have the shuttle run by the time the others got out. The rest took a little more time and scouted more as they didn't know it as well but luckily they had there fearless leader... Menges to guide them down. Alex and I fired off everything on the run without any hicups, which is a nice feeling. Kyle and Larsen elected to walk Double Trouble which has a big hole at the bottom. Due to us bombing most of the run we didn't get that much video but here is a little of me running the main rapids.




till next time paddle safe...
