This first video is of a recent raft trip. We took the super Puma down the 7 waterfalls of the Rio Micos. It was fantastic, expect to see more of this.

Time to loop!

February 8th, 2009 by Aaron

It seems like the loop is the popular trick these days. Loops and some variation of them, will get you big points in rodeo. This is a variation of the loop:

First you need a ten foot drop.

You have to plug it….DEEP

On the way back up, its gonna to feel strange. You have a ten foot waterfall, falling on your head.

Throw it fast, and try to keep your head out of the water.


Continue through the pool to the next 25 footer. Go to the take out and eat some gorditas.
Welcome to kayakers paradise….with tacos.

The Bros Visit Mexico.

January 14th, 2009 by Aaron

It’s always a great day when it takes two cars to get all the boats down to the Rio Micos. My brothers, Andrew and Matt, came down to visit for a few weeks of Mexico boating.

Good to see all those boats.

We ran Micos at early December levels in the beginning of January. We are easily double the volume of this time last year. The Crew consisted of Marjie, Me, Jasmeen, Andrew, Amilkar, Enrique, Matt, and Tomato.
You can still run the second slide all across the board. This is Marjie on the far left line.

This is a new line on the Serpiente. It opened up this year after the flooding.

Micos is holding so well this season that it may go until June.
Bad Boy is the far left side of the last waterfall. It’s at a great playboat level right now. Just enough adrenaline!
Eddie below Bad Boy

After the falls you can run down to the wave and then hike back to the island.
Oh yeah it’s good to be back in playboats.


Too much surfing can turn you into a crazy Mexican.

Just another sunny day here in paradise…Paradise with TACOS, that is.

El Salto update, just for Bill Payne!

November 21st, 2008 by Aaron

The El Salto is the headwaters of the Rio Valles. This section is well known among anyone who has ever boated in The Huasteca Region of Mexico. It contains 20 of the best examples of travertine waterfalls in the area.
This is the Put in Falls just below the hydro plant.

This second waterfall only runs when the hydro lets water pass by. It is a 19 footer.

Luminosa with plenty of water. Notice the multiple lines, hero and chicken!

Travertine watefalls help you develop the patience to get a good tuck. Jaistemai has some good form here. A free fall of 30 feet also helps.

More drops.

This drop is now known as Fil’s Favorite…just remember! RIGHT BUTT CHEEK!!!!

See ya in Mexico…

Free falling in plastic.

November 5th, 2008 by Aaron

So you want to learn to stomp landings, late boof, melt down, and free wheel? The Micos section of the Rio Valles is the perfect training ground.
downstream from top of powerplant
This is the view from the power plant roof!
Out of 11 waterfalls and slides, they are as big as 65 feet, and as small as 2 feet. What more can you ask for? Fil on the second waterfall.
This is Fil taking flight.
right now the water levels are great. we have more water than ever before. The summer storms have pumped up the water table and we get to enjoy.
nice 10 footer
This is the right line on the Serpiente.
Did I mention that every drop has multiple lines. Most can be run over and over, all you need is a throw bag and a strong back.
29 feet of sweet...
Second to last drop, you can run this as high as 29 or down to 16 feet. Click on any of these pics to see full size.
Bad boy
Jaistemai is running the Bad Boy side of the last falls. Absolutely full of water. Gotta love mexico in the winter. See you all later.

Return to Mexico

October 8th, 2008 by Aaron

Only one weekend left for Gauley season. It has been a good six weeks, but it’s time to head south. Team KH will be heading to the Russell Fork for a few days and then down to mexico. Plenty of water is waiting down there. It looks like it will be the biggest water year we have seen, in the last 4 seasons.

Kayak Huasteca has more boats than ever and we are planning on adding quite a few rivers to the itinerary.

See you all in Mexico
