So the snow is metling quite a bit, at least here in the interior. So sad for skiing/snowboarding but those rivers are starting to flow! My friends and I just came back from paddling a couple rivers in the lower mainland and enjoyed ourselves despite the lower water levels, what can you expect from January paddling I guess.

Here’s a little visual kayak treat. Stakeout is a movie shot in Quebec, these guys are playboating on some of the biggest features I’ve seen. Looks amazing.

And if you don’t mind heading a bit further south you should check out the Santa Cruz Kayak Surf Festival 2010, March 26-28.

Middle Fork of the Salmon River 09

A school trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River from Idaho to Montana. This amazing river started out at Marsh Creek with about 3 feet of snow beside us and maybe 15 cfs of water flow. By the end of the trip when we passed the confluence of the Main Salmon River it was raging at around 10 000 CFS and rising quickly every day.

I’m trying a new photo script on the site, so click on the thumbnail and the whole series should appear. From there you can click on all the photos to get a larger view.

The photo script is called Shashin and is available for free at Shashin

WhiteWater Summer

I had the fortune of being employed as a white water rafting guide this summer and it was a fantastic experience. Not only did I get to spend every day on the Fraser river, but I also got paid for it! When we weren’t taking clients down the river I had the chance to take my sister down on an inflateable Kayak and did a lot of regular kayaking with my boys, Brett and Shawn aswell. At the end of the summer I caved and bought my own boat, a Bliss Stick, Mystic, it’s amazing! I’m so pumped to have my own gear now.

So much fun on the river!

A short movie I made for my computers class. It’s mostly pictures from trips I’ve done in School including some moutaineering, white water kayaking, surfing, hiking and camping.
