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.

The 2011 Professor Paddle Ball took place over Memorial Day weekend outside of Leavenworth, Washington, one of my favorite places. The Ball is a once-a-year gathering of the Northwest kayaking community organized by ProfessorPaddle.com founder James Amandus and a crew of volunteers, including Adam Ales, maker of the awesome Big Air Ramp over the past few years.
