Variety is the key. Shots from the same position of the play feature can become repetitive very quickly. If you are restricted by the location of your vantage point try holding the camera really high for the shot or drop down low. I use a Nikon d5100 which has a really useful flip screen that is ideal for unusual camera angles. It’s amazing what a difference this can make to shots of the same paddler/feature.

It was sort of a West Fork kind of day. West Fork of the Pigeon in the morning and West Fork of the French Broad in the afternoon. I did this run nearly 20 years ago but with not nearly this much water. It was a great level. The second slide was the crux drop for us it really wanted to slam you in the right wall. What ever you do don’t scout on river left. The key to the drop was to be as right as you could be in the set up and then charge into the curling wave coming from the left. The boulder garden was holely for sure but good.

Dave, Russell, Ben and me headed out earlier than most groups. The early trip combined with a huge snowpack for the year left us a little nervous that river levels would be too high and that we would miss out on the classic runs of the area. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief when we arrived to find everything on the high end of good. Perfect levels! Continue reading
