Green Truss of the White Salmon = Sweet!

Had an awesome time paddling the Green Truss of the White Salmon today. I just picked up some new gear from Stohlquist, and what better way to test it out than seeing the goods Washington has to offer. It is not the ideal time to be up here in the Hood River area so I was really excited that the Green Truss always flows and the levels were pretty good. I called up Jesse Becker from the AT factory and he and a super crew consisting of Nathan Herbeck, Eric Boomer, Scott, Jay, and myself had a super fun clean run down. Can't wait to see where else I can find water. Check out the vid, I only got out to take pics at big bro.

The Big South! Quality

So John and I left late Saturday night to meet up and run the Big South sunday and monday. Sunday there were tons of people there enjoying the beautiful place and high quality whitewater. Everyone we met or saw on the river was super friendly. With Kevin knowing the run really well, and a really solid crew joining us all, it was easy to blast through all the boogy and middle rapids. Took some great video and pictures from the trip so please enjoy.

Junior Kayak Camp...Im not forcing the fun...It's just there to take!

So the past week was spent teaching a great group of kids the ins and outs of kayaking. We spent five days straight on the water and filled their heads with all the kayaking knowledge they could handle. By the end of the week each kid had run their first class III rapids and, I think, were hooked on kayaking forever. It was the first time we had done a camp like this and I can't wait to do more in the future. Im sure i'll be seing much more from this crew. Check out the action shots of the week.
