I never would have thought that after Moosefest last weekend, I would find myself surfing Garburator with my new Jed. Â But, much to my surprise, there I was with Erin Clancey, Craig Kleckner and David Fusilli, who were equally stoked to use their new CARBON JEDS! We enjoyed sunny autumn weather, two days of Garb, …

Photo- Henry Munter This past March when my friend Meg Smith proposed an impromptu Alaskan roadtrip, my immediate response was, “Yes! when?”  After a month of skiing the most incredible terrain in Valdez, we roadtripped to Girdwood to spend the summer and  discover what whitewater southcentral Alaska had to offer.  What I found was a …

Within a year of learning how to roll, I put a Uganda trip to surf the Nile Special on my ‘to-do’ list. For the past 3 years I have been haphazardly making plans and searching flights to Entebbe, hoping to check it all out before the dam flooded the top section. Finally, this November Craig …

This past weekend demshitz hung out in Salida, CO for the annual FIBARK. Due to high water the usual punishing ‘Pine Creek’ Race was held on rapid #4 instead and the rodeo became a touchy wave rather than a hole.  But, FIBARK is always a good time with deep fried snickers, live music, and carnival …

While the rest of Demshitz competed in the Lyons Outdoor Games, Dave and I headed to Frisco, CO to visit Tenmile Creek Kayaks‘ owner Matti Wade and hang out at the local river festival. It was great to meet a new group of friendly kayakers and check out their scene.

After the Teva Mountain Games we spent a couple of days surfing Glenwood Springs Wave at ideal levels before heading back to Vail for a Kayak Demo Session with Alpine Quest Sports. We had fun playing with the bladders to adjust the Vail hole and trying to avoid hypothermia while throwing loops with our buddies …

To kick-off last weekend’s Teva Mountain Games in Vail, demshitz headed to the new Bonfire Brewing Company in Eagle, CO to celebrate the beer of the month; DEMSHITZ BROWN ALE! In addition to being super delicious, the Demshitz Brown Ale can be ordered by simply throwing out the brown claw at the bar. Very nice! …
