Okay, this one isn’t going to be about freestyle or slalom or creeking or any other craziness. It’s all about making the USA Wildwater Junior Team and going to the ICF Worlds. I don’t know how I got this slot, because the race conditions pretty much sucked. 34 degrees, snowing and raining and a wicked …

The awesome weather and good flows on the Maury River brought out thirty paddlers from as far away as Ohio and D.C. for the 8th Annual Goshen Pass Downriver Race.

For the last 15 days of our stay in NZ we decided to go down to the South Island to paddle on the West Coast and do a couple fun races. Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned with me getting hurt on the first race. The day after we arrived was the Citroen …
