Whitewater Kayaking Eskimo Rolling Videos
Since a lot of people are taking whitewater kayaking classes and learning how to roll right now, I’m posting a video or two that I think teach it reasonably well. I’m saying reasonably because I didn’t learn how to roll from a video so I really don’t know how these will go over, however I […]

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 […]

Here’s another one from the video chronicles of Dan Patrinellis – highlights of local whitewater kayaker Sam Grafton running all sorts of incredibly huge and difficult stuff in 2012.

Video: Rob McKibbin Runs Log Choke and Alpine Falls
Here’s a great video that Dan Patrinellis took of Rob McKibbin running Log Choke Falls on the Top Tye in early November 2012, with Box Drop immediately afterwards and then Alpine Falls at the end of the clip. This is classic Rob, just plain gorgeous kayaking. The thing I love best about this video is […]

Video: Rob McKibbin on Sunset Falls – Plus A Little Something
It was October 2008 when everyone’s favorite local paddler, Rob McKibbin, ran the 275-foot Sunset Falls in Index, WA – on his lunch break, for heaven’s sake, after which he geared back up for his contracting job and went back to work. The falls hadn’t been run since 1926, when daredevil Al Faussett drew a […]

Upper Upper North Fork Skykomish Waterfall Run
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 […]

Well I guess when someone writes to me from New Zealand asking why I haven’t posted on my blog for a while it’s time for me to finally get around to putting up some of the stuff I’ve been meaning to share on here. Thanks, Ollie, for the nudge! :) I don’t have the video […]

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 […]
