Pimiento Section Of The Rio Filobobos (Veracruz, MX)

8 February 2014 / / 0 Comments

Pimiento Section of the Rio Filobobos (Veracruz, MX) from Nate Merrill on Vimeo.

The Pimiento Section is one of three sections that comprise a 30k wilderness run on the Rio Filobobos in Veracruz, Mexico. The shuttle is four hours one way and traverses some amazing landscape. The river itself is cut off from the world on either side by a vertical canyon that stretches up 600 feet in some places. The first 1/3 of the run is boat scouting class IV with the occasional hairy sieve. We got on the water around 10am and reached our takeout close to 5pm in the afternoon. 12 boaters deep and perpetual game of broken telephone made for some interesting lines, but this section is certainly worth checking out if you want a day off from the nearby Rio Alseseca.

Mexico part 2 from Creek Sides on Vimeo.

Veracruz, Mexico is such a special place. Rio Alseseca is one of the best rivers in the world. There’s really no way to describe it other than to see it for yourself. There are so many world class sections of whitewater and at least one tributary that’s right up there. If you haven’t been, you must go. Sorry if I missed ya in the credits.

Mexico Part I

Mexico part 1 from Creek Sides on Vimeo.

Creek Sides went to Mexico this year and what we found was nothing short of spectacular. The Valles area hosts a myriad of waterfalls that are fun, some are easy, and some… are as big as you’ll ever want to go. We went on to Veracruz to spend time on Alseseca. The Alseseca is one of those special places you rarely come across, if ever. It’s why creek siders come from all over to experience its magic. The quality and quantity of whitewater in Veracruz is nearly unmatched, the world over. When you are ready to fly off big waterfalls, go deep into remote canyons, or even explore first descents.. you won’t have to travel far. It’s all here and when your day is over tacos and beer aren’t far away either. Here’s are some highlights on how our trip began. Stay tuned… more to come.

River Tawe Jan 2014 Scotty Camera Mount Experiments

River Tawe Jan 2014 Scotty camera mount experiments from Five Element Productions on Vimeo.

A test of the Scotty kayak mount with a GoPro. WARNING: This video contains shots of mild white water kayaking slowed down in an attempt to make it look far more dramatic than it actually was…

This trip also resulted in a rather embarrasing swim after going through a stopper and hitting an edy by mistake before getting sucked back into said stopper for a head pounding. Scotty mount survived it nicely though!

We put this video together to highlight good lines, to promote women in the sport and most importantly, to have fun with our friends! You’re not going to see any huge waterfalls or first descents in this video, but we hope you’ll find something that might motivate you in whatever you’re doing, whether it be work, school, or kayaking. See you on the river.

Kaituna Gnarly Gorge 100% GoPro from SB Productions on Vimeo.

Fun lap with the boys down the Lower Gorges of the Kaituna. After scouting for new wood we decided to paddle Gnarly and it was awesome, some of the best most continuous white water in between vertical walls covered with moss and pangas. Such an amazing place, doesn’t get much better!
Thanks Brendan, Tim and Tyler for showing me down!

Tree Trunk Gorge

Tree Trunk Gorge from Martina Wegman on Vimeo.

Tree Trunk Gorge on the Tongariro River, just South of Taupo off the Desert road in New Zealand is a Unique place. To enter the gorge a crux rapid with a huge tree has to be paddled or a 6 meter seal launch lands you right above the first 40 footer. Straight following that is another 8meter drop to exit the gorge.

Grizedale Beck Pin To Swim, To Unpin.

10 January 2014 / / 0 Comments

Things can go wrong. When they do it’s important to have the skills, kit and quick reaction to deal with it. This great video from Liam Chambers shows just how important this is.

Grizedale Beck pin to swim, to unpin. from Liam Chambers on Vimeo.

Sometime about 18 months ago we were waiting for rivers to come up in the lakes and went to this, adamant to get on and paddle some for the sake of paddling myself and Greg ran the entry falls to the main slide.

Was it worth it? No. Was that safety course worth it? Yes. Could it have gone worse? Almost definitely. Here’s what happened.

Playboater Troubleshooter – Episode 3 – Hole Movement Basics

7 January 2014 / / 1 Comment

The Playboater Troubleshooter Series is brought to you by Wave Sport Kayaks and H2o Dreams LLC.

This new series looks to tackle the freestyle discipline in the same approach as Chris did in the Whitewater Troubleshooter series, through typical pitfalls, as well as a description of why the physics work, not just how.

In this episode Chris Wing talks about the importance of learning in holes before waves to prevent avoidance mentalities and how our previous positions of power translates to powerful movement in holes. This is a great building block for any paddler even if your end goal isn’t to play, as it is only a matter of time before you find yourself in one.

Playboater Troubleshooter – Episode 4 – Wave Movement Basics

7 January 2014 / / 0 Comments

The Playboater Troubleshooter Series is brought to you by Wave Sport Kayaks and H2o Dreams LLC.

This new series looks to tackle the freestyle discipline in the same approach as Chris did in the Whitewater Troubleshooter series, through typical pitfalls, as well as a description of why the physics work, not just how.

In this episode Chris Wing gives you the basics of how the hull interacts when it starts to plane out and how the previous lesson still relates to movement on waves. Waves typically are the most sought after and least intimidating features to play on, but also the least understood.
