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 [...]

A couple of weekends ago Greg Nicoll took this video of a run we did on the Skykomish from Cable Drop to Split Rock when the level was round 950 cfs. On the second lap of Boulder Drop he had the camera turned backward so it shows a different angle. And, as usual for any kayaking video, [...]

Here’s the video Dan Patrinellis made of the first 2011 Chelan Gorge release this year - this is just a one-minute teaser video, it sounds like there will be a full one coming after this weekend’s final release. Notice the obvious sun and heat… big sigh. I just saw this Chelan Gorge video Matt Kurle posted [...]
Here’s a sweet video Dan Patrinellis took on the Green Narrows in North Carolina over Fourth of July weekend, 2011. Tight, technical stuff – much harder than these boaters make it look, I think. Now I’m waiting for him to cough up some footage from the Chelan Gorge releases that are happening right now, it sounds like the [...]
There’s a great post on the Team Pyranha blog right now about a trip the Seiler brothers organized on the N. Fork of the American River’s ‘Royal Gorge’. It looks like an epic time and there are some really amazing photos, many of them taken by kayaker Robby Hogg, who was nice enough to let [...]

Dan Patrinellis posted a nice video recently of a run he took with the Davis brothers on the Potomac River when the level was around 3.5. There’s a stellar boof at 1:05 (at least it looks that way to me – I notice those because most of my boofs leave me requiring scuba gear). Also, to [...]
