Truth From The Charge "Part II The Homies"

Enjoy this video of my friends going big!

Mostly footage from 2011 in California and Chile!

Stoked to be headed to New Zealand to kick off the first 2 months of 2013 with my good buddies Will Pruett and Mike Peacher for undoubted Charging with Barny Young and Jordy Searle!

Keep up as we hope to grab lots of aesthetic media on this tour!

A True Blessing

Back home in the South East I have been recharging for upcoming touring! Knocking off maintenance on the van and organizing media have been on the todo list for awhile and it feels good to get to both done.  Enjoy this video from last spring on one of my favorite rivers to paddle - The Raven Fork!

Bump up the quality in the settings

California + Kayak + Charge = Truth

I first visited California for kayaking in 2009 with my first river being the majestic Middle King's.  The Kings was my first overnighter and the beginning to a romance sweeter than I would have ever imagined.  Now after 4 Cali seasons I have completed most of my goals (always new goals to be had) and visited so many amazing drainages. Cali has everything I want in kayaking and has truly become my home! Jah Bless the granite, the sun, the crystal blue waters, and all you nasty huckers givin it each summer!

Gnarlfest 2012 in the Greenboats!!!!

Gnarlfest is a extreme kayak race down the South Feather river in California.  This year was extra special as we celebrated the first ever Greenboat descents of the run as well as the first Greenboats in the race. Will Pruett and myself probed the run and certified to others that it was even possible to get the long race boats down the run.  We had 6 racers in Greenboats and the race has officially been transformed into another long boat extreme race.  Next years race will include a ramp start into an additional rapid at the beginning of the course making sure to bump up the Gnarl factor on this awesome race!

The crux drop of the race going far better than expected!

Columbia River Gorge

Jah Gorge - So Beautiful with world class whitewater pouring in off drainages on both sides of the Columbia!

 The Pacific Northwest's Columbia River Gorge has caught my eye as one of the most impressive, aesthetic, and spiritual river valley's I have ever been blessed to visit.  The whitewater is off the hook and I am looking forward to moving there this winter and spring as high water amongst the area serves for massive potential.  The Gorge will offer me striking distance to Northern Washington, the Olympic Peninsula, Northern Oregon, Idaho(high water), and of course a short drive south to Cali!  I have really fallen in love with this area of the country and I am looking forward to all that it has to offer me!

I have tasted the waters and it's good!!! Check out what I have already found in the Pacific Northwest!

Jah Box!!! Wyoming Part 2

The Box section of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone is the third deepest canyon in the lower 48 and is infamously known for being the best paddling in Wyoming.  The canyons were deep and the granite   was smooth and good times and lines were shared by all!  Jordy and I ended up doing two laps of this multi-day gem and sent the second lap in a one day push, completing the run in only 6 hours!  We had a blast with all the cool people and enjoyed the dirtbagging thoroughly!!

Lifestyle in Wyoming!
