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 […]
Continue readingWhen I posted the last video of Shanna and Nicole’s waterfall drop I clicked on one of the related videos and saw this one of people in Creature Crafts running POW in Tumwater Canyon at 13,400 last year – it’s totally insane. Tumwater Canyon is petrifying to me, and at higher levels I drive by with […]
Continue readingLast Saturday I ran the Wenatchee again at around 9,000 cfs and later found photos of us on the Riverbooty.com website going through the first big rapid, Rock ‘n’ Roll. Check out the difference between these two photos (which I did buy from Riverbooty, by the way – I know they say ‘proof’, but that’s […]
Continue readingToday I was just amazed by how ‘close’ Leavenworth and the Wenatchee River are to Seattle, even though it’s around a 2.5 hour drive. I was supposed to get up at 5 a.m. to drive up and meet Butch and Clea for a short run, putting in at Turkey Shoot, but instead (in my defense, I […]

(The first one is the same one that’s in the last post on higher Youtube video quality that I just did.) This one has Brett, Kevin H., and people I […]

In searching around online I found a cool trick that should work for most Youtube video formats (I think I read it won’t work for […]
Continue readingOK, the first bunch of surfing video series is ready after Memorial Day weekend in Leavenworth – which was awesome, by the way. There’s nothing nicer than kayaking down the Wenatchee River and getting out to bask in 80 degree weather at Riverside Park in Cashmere with a crew of river-happy rafters, kayakers and pooches. […]
Continue readingLast 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. Anyway, something happened on the one rapid, Snowblind, that was […]
