The category 4 Hurricane Joaquin brought some serious rain to the South East of United States. With flood warnings and most of the rivers rising incredibly fast, we decided to run Thompson Creek, one of the steepest stretches of whitewater in the East Coast with a staked loss of 800ft. in less than a mile, before the river meets Lake Jocassee.
A pretty serious piece of whitewater is shown in this edit from Adam Freeman.
I would like to show you a little piece of the most committing and beautiful creek in Virginia. Bottoms Creek sits on top of Bent Mountain just outside of Roanoke. The gorge is carved out of Gneiss is a type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks. It creates perfect slides and classic cali whitewater drops in parts of the gorge.
Superb big water and big falls action. The Oscar McBurney Norway 2015 Reel is very well filmed and edited. One of the best edits I have seen so far this year. The use of the drone to give different filming angles has worked really well.
Here is a short and sweet summery of my time in Norway this year. Big water, Waterfalls and first descents, it was a pretty special scandinavian trip!
Sam Ellis has created this superb edit of him out in Alaska earlier this year. Sam is truly an outstanding paddler and easily ranks up there with the best paddlers the world has to offer.
What makes him really outstanding is that he is a really nice guy. Keep charging Sam.
With solid snow melt throughout Colorado in the summer of 2015, Shane Groves, Andy Hobson, and Matt Anger take on the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Not wanting to camp and haul heavy boats through the long portages, they did it in one day with with plenty of water.
Japan seems to offer a great deal to the outdoor loving sports person. It is definitely a place I would like to visit with both my kayak and mountain bike. Our friends over at Creative Adventure took a road trip out to Japan earlier this year. It looks epic.
Laura Farrell, Margaret Williams, Steve Augustine, Toby MacDermott and Erin Savage took a summer vacation up to Quebec. While the US was in a bit of a drought, Quebec was blessed with a particularly rainy summer. We got to hit some classics, as well as some lesser known runs.
In the summer of 2015 the Glanz Brothers were both up in Norway, but on separate trips with different groups. This video is the summery of two very wet, cold but successful trips to the classic creeks and rivers of Norway.
A really nicely shot edit from Mr David Bain.
This years annual commute to Norway led us to paddle some of the notorious white water in the world as well as discovering some epic first descents made possible by the high level of snowfall. Travelling with David Bain, Oscar McBurney and Anton Immler we visit rivers which are off the standard path and venture deep in to the Scandinavian wilderness.
Gauley River Goods is a superb edit from Fall Line Canoes showing just some of the action from last weekends Gauley River Festival.
A little bit of Friday and Saturday on the Upper Gauley during Gauley Fest 2015.
Great action from Aaron Kendall at last weekends Wet West Paddle Fest on the River Moriston.
Our annual trip up to Scotland for beers and boating. To be honest more than the beers. This is the out come of the boating side of things.
