For the first time I can recollect the old Sculling-brace saved my bacon in the lead-in to White Knuckler yesterday. I got caught being lazy on an entrance curler I forgot was there and ended up between the boil and the bedrock cliff-wall. Every roll attempt was rejected by the rock against the hull, but spending a few seconds with a sculling brace to draw the boat out gave enough room for a final hip snap to bring it up. Thanks sculling-brace, glad to have you in the quiver. #beatering #kayaking #carnage #whitewaterismagic (at North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River)

Hung in there for about 30 seconds before hopping out for a quick dip. #beatering #swimteam #tanhands #whitewaterismagic #whitewater #whitewaterporn #carnage

I have no idea how this hole managed to stop me dead in my tracks, but I would like to thank it for handing out my first swim of 2016 and also possibly the shortest one ever. If you're going to swim, I recommend swimming at this drop on Blue River, Oregon. The eddy is calm'ish, not too deep or too shallow, and conveniently located. #beatering #whitewater #whitewaterismagic #swimteam #oregon

Between A Rock And A Hard Place Playing on Sorba slides, Italy. was messing around as it was our 3rd time down, went with a cross-deck boof, missed the boof stroke unfortunately and pencilled it and then went round a few times before getting spat out. Playboating skills coming into play a bit here.

Everybody Swims

We are all in between swims. Raven Fork ran the other day and with 730 feet per mile comes a whole lot of class 5 and the sketch involved in it. With a good crew and the right equipment this risk can be mitigated but it still doesn’t remove the chances of something happening. (more…)

First combat roll of the season and it happens on a class III feature....rolling up into a strainer pile. Never let your guard down. Thanks for the rescue guys! #beatering #whitewater #newengland #newhampshire #whitewaterismagic #whitewaterkayaking
