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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Matt Kurle and Dan Patrinellis put together this really nice video of local paddlers on some beautiful and gnar-filled runs.  When you think about it, it’s amazing how many good paddlers and dedicated kayaking film-makers we have in this area.  Not to mention rivers that run all year, and some of the best scenery ever.  Gee, [...]

Dave Moroles gave me a heads up about this really nicely done Icicle Creek kayaking video from the Icicle.tv site.  It’s also a great site to find all kinds of videos about outdoor activities in the Leavenworth-Wenatchee area. Icicle Creek Kayaking – Leavenworth Wa from Skipow Visuals on Vimeo. This video is mostly Marco Colella and Rob McKibbin (I guess [...]

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 [...]
