Video: Canyon Creek of the Stillaguamish

Well, I guess it’s not too late for me to write a post in November 2011 after all – two whole hours to go. :) Here’s a video Todd Thorpe took last weekend of him, Jessie McCarthy, Jon Dufay, and Jim Warlick on the Canyon Creek of the Stillaguamish at 5.7 feet. They did two runs, […]

Whitewater Kayaking Gear: What to Buy – Drysuits and Paddles

As soon as you start shopping for whitewater kayaking gear you realize there are quite a few choices to make about each item, and it can be hard to know what to buy when you don’t have a ton of experience. The stuff’s expensive too, so you really want to buy gear that you won’t want […]

Video: Whitewater Kayaking the Final Chelan Gorge Release in 2011

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. [HTML1] Rob McKibbin did a […]

Video: Icicle Creek Kayaking from Icicle.tv

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.

Fred Norquist’s Dipper Creek Kayaking Video – Thumbs Up

This is amazing footage of a run done by Fred Norquist and friends on Dipper Creek, BC, in October 2010. Usually I’d have a hard time getting through an eleven-minute video but there’s something about this one that kept me glued to it the entire time – the drops are huge, the canyon setting is […]

Video: Whitewater Kayakers on Icicle Creek Middle Section

This is the video that got me started looking for whitewater kayaking slalom instructional videos (my previous post). It’s a bunch of kayakers on the Class V Middle section of Icicle Creek outside of Leavenworth, WA, one of my favorite places, and includes footage of Ricochet, The Sieve, Horseshoe and The Plunge. [HTML1] Thanks to […]

Whitewater Kayaking Slalom Technique How-To Videos

As usual, after watching videos of my friends creeking Class V, I went searching for some instructional videos on kayaking slalom technique because I know I’m weak in the eddy-catching / boat control department. After plugging around for a while I finally found this awesome site called Canoe Slalom Technique that has a big section […]

Video: Dan Patrinellis’ Whitewater Kayaking Pin on Icicle Creek

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 […]

Video: Whitewater Kayakers Running the Plunge on Icicle Creek

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 […]
