Paddle Trips
If you’re thinking about whitewater kayaking in Ecuador I highly recommend checking out Ecuador Paddling, my friend Abe Herrera’s whitewater kayaking tour business down there. Word on the eddyline is that this is a great way to get a non-touristy and authentic version of the whitewater experience in Ecuador. “Ecuador is all about Class IV [...]
Here’s what I’m hearing is a stellar video by Fred Norquist and Evan Garcia of their whitewater kayaking trip down the Grand Canyon of the Stikine with Eric Parker, Ryan Lucas, Matt Baker, and Ben Marr (I think that’s everyone – I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but seeing as I know if I [...]

Mike Nash, Joe Howard, Brad Xanthopoulos, and Dave Moroles all headed up to BC last weekend to run the Box Canyon of the Ashlu River, also known as Commitment Canyon. There’s plenty of good headcam footage that may someday make it onto here, and in the meantime here’s a clip of Joe Howard (aka Super [...]

OK, I hang my head in shame… I have not posted on this blog for nearly two months, and I guess it’s time for me to get on it before Ollie from New Zealand writes to me again to say, “What up?” Really, things have been busy. More on that later, maybe. In any [...]

I’ve been meaning to post about a million things on here about upcoming kayak classes in 2012 and good recent videos, etc., but instead have been shlepping around. Since I have a few minutes though, here’s a nice video of Brad Xanthopoulos (I hope that’s right) doing Punchbowl on the Big Falls section of Eagle [...]

Chris Totten put together this great video of the whitewater kayaking carnage resulting from the Chelan Gorge huckfest in summer of 2011. I have to say when I heard the scoop on the weekend and the list of extremely good boaters that swam, my jaw dropped. Chris said it was more carnage in two days than [...]

This is a sweet video by whitewater kayaker Matt Kurle of him and Dan Patrinellis paddling the Ernie’s Canyon section of the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River in February 2011. Apparently this video won first place at an outdoor film festival recently, so congrats Matt! Ernie’s Canyon is one of the most difficult whitewater kayaking [...]

Well, I guess it’s not too late for me to write a post in November 2011 after all – two whole hours to go. Here’s a video Todd Thorpe took last weekend of him, Jessie McCarthy, Jon Dufay, and Jim Warlick on the Canyon Creek of the Stillaguamish at 5.7 feet. They did two runs, [...]

Dan Patrinellis put together this really nice video of the last Chelan Gorge release this summer – sadly, it looks like that was the last release for years to come. Word on the eddyline is that the water was warm and, as you can see, it was a gorgeous weekend. Rob McKibbin did a first [...]
