Last weekend I took one of the most fun kayaking trips ever, on the Wenatchee River by Leavenworth. It was running around 4900 cfs, so not enormous, but the waves are definitely a lot bigger than what I’ve seen on Class IIIs on this side.

I really love this video of this girl kayaking in Thailand – she’s 14 years old and has what is seriously the mother of all combat rolls. (About two-thirds of the way through she flips up as she’s going over this 4 or 5 foot drop.) Plus, how could I not relate to a girl […]

Back in early April 2009 the Northwest Whitewater Racers held the WKC Cedar River Race at the Cedar River Gates near Landsburg, WA.
