The One and Only, Pyranha Shiva
Back in the summer of 2015 I got my first creek boat and it was a Pyranha Shiva Small. My first run in it was on the Upper Nantahala, after that I used it on the Upper Gauley, Tellico, and the South Sauty. The boat was perfect, every boof I hit, the boat just flew …

Humla Karnali – 2015
The Humla district in the west of Nepal is one of the highest and most remote in Nepal. Getting there ether involves a nine day walk from the nearest road, or a flight landing onto a short, sloping runway in Simikot. Many pilgrims travel through Simikot on their journey to Mt. Kailash.
