British Universities Creek Race 2015

This March saw the third annual British Universities Creek Race take place in Glen Etive, Scotland. In the event’s short history the race has seen super low levels in it’s first year and beautiful medium levels last year. Fortunately the river gods have continued this theme of escalation and this year we were treated with …

Night Laps on the Green River

After deciding to hold back and not go down south for winter, I was hoping, as every other paddler in the Southeast was, that El Niño would bring the cold winter rains and get all of the Southeast classics up to prime levels. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case and even the Green hasn’t been …

Video: High Water Raven Fork in the 9R

Like so many others out there, the 9r has quickly become my favorite kayak of all time.  I have had a lot of fun taking it on harder and harder whitewater, and it performs beautifully, from class II to class V+!  Here is a quick gopro edit of a sweet weekend on the Raven Fork …

Columbia River Gorge: Rain, Rivers, and Demshitz

I found no shortage of any of these things on a recent trip to the gorge. After a long drought in California and a few days of good work I had a little money in my pocket and no reason to hang around home so I decided a quick trip up to the PNW was …

First Impressions of the 9R

I’ve been back in the UK a few weeks now and have had the chance to get out in the 9R a few times. Long story short: it is my new favourite boat. After a day at CIWW I was sold on it as a great boat for messing around in on easy whitewater but …

Gerd Serrasolses 2014 year review

I guess you are normally supposed to do this before the year actually ends but I was busy traveling in southern Chile so I didn’t have time then. Here it is anyway! 2014 was a great year, super fun and almost 100% injury free with lots of kayaking on my favorite destinations! So stoked to be living this …

Mexico for mere mortals

I’m pretty lucky to get good leave allowance where I work, so can usually get away for one foreign “lads” boating trip a year on harder rivers, plus one holiday with my better half which (due to her understanding my kayaking addiction) usually involves a good amount of boating – though generally at a more …

Winter on the Mountain with the XL Burn III

  Below: Adam Goshorn on Short Creek, photo by Shannon Goshorn Fresh off a winter Grand Canyon trip, I probably should be working on sorting pictures and video from that trip.  However, ever since I arrived back to my home the opportunities for great boating have kept me happily distracted!  The XL Burn III was …

Tamur with Pat – Nepal River Trip #1

Way back in 2014, I spent six weeks in Nepal; a country that has been on my ‘hit list’ for countless years.  Arriving before the rest of our buddies, Erik Johnson and I signed up for a Tamur river trip with Pat O’Keefe and Ultimate Descents.  I didn’t know much about the trip, but a …

Meghalaya 2014

This year’s season in Meghalaya has been absolutely ridiculous. For the past two years we’ve ended up paddling into steep gorges with crazy geography that for the most part have offered up awesome adventures, but often not that great whitewater. This year has delivered on the awesome adventures, but now we’re really starting to make …
