A short version of a long story

Hi all, i have not posted on here in quite sometime… guess i got a little to busy with paddling so heres a somewhat lengthy update.
This year i managed to attened USA freestyle team trials which was a lot of fun. I went to them as part of a program hosted by WCKA (world class kayak academy). [...]

The Truss

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZOmA6mac5nQ" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]This weekend i got to paddle the green truss section of the white salmon river.

Niagara section of the N Santiam

Today was the first south eugene whitewater club trip of the year. We had a very experienced group, and sadly no new members but on the bright side it meant that we could run a more challenging section of river. Due to the low flows we opted to run the damn released N Santiam. The section has a nice big water [...]
