Matt Kurle posted this video on Professor Paddle not long ago of himself, Adrian Wigston, Dave Moroles and Joe Howard (aka Super Joe) running the Carbon River – it’s really nice. And, for those so inclined, yes, there is some carnage. Matt has a lot of good videos on his YouTube channel, which my friend [...]
Whitewater kayaker Dan Patrinellis shot a nice helmet-cam video of himself and Scott (aka Fish) running Ernie’s Canyon on the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River the other day, I like it because after a lot of the drops Dan turns around to film Fish so you some good shots of the run looking upstream as well. [...]

Dan Patrinellis posted this video on Professor Paddle today taken by Todd and Brendan Wells when they were kayaking the Green Truss section of the White Salmon recently. I don’t know those guys, but Dan says in the post that the guy in the blue Agent is only 17, pretty impressive! They both also have whitewater blogs with some [...]

Dan Patrinellis was wearing a helmet camera when he got pinned on a low-water run of Icicle Creek about a week ago. Here’s his video – it took a while for him to get the throw bag, and he said the hairy moment came when he pulled his spray skirt and the boat went deeper [...]

Early in July I got some footage of Rob McKibbin, Sam Grafton and Darren Albright running the Wall on Tumwater Canyon at 4900 cfs. Darren is first, then Sam (notice the feisty hole ride he takes nearly halfway through) and then Rob, of course in his playboat. The funny part about this day is that [...]

I was over in Leavenworth one evening last week taking a look at the Plunge drop on Icicle Creek with Charles from AquaSports and we happened to run into this guy Nels, who told us he thought Darren Albright was going to be running it soon. Sure enough, a few minutes later Darren came down [...]

I could just as easily call this video “Why I love whitewater kayaking” because it’s a perfect example of everything that’s amazing about it – the beautiful surroundings, the thrill of whitewater and the great people you do it with. This is me, Rob McKibbin, Dave Moroles and Sam Grafton on Roadside Attraction on Icicle [...]

In deference to the Robe Canyon Race happening tomorrow (Sunday April 25, 2010), here’s a cool video I found on Professor Paddle showing kayakers running the drops – there are some really nice boofs in there. If anyone’s planning on heading out there to watch it should be fun, the race will probably start around 10:30-ish 1 pm-ish [...]

Jake Sanders took this video of whitewater kayaker Dave Moroles solo-climbing Castle Rock near Leavenworth, it’s good stuff. (Don’t miss the part 2 minutes into it when he hangs from one arm above an I-don’t-know-how-high drop – really high up, basically, and pret-ty impressive.) I’ll take the opportunity here to also give Dave credit for being [...]
