With a 10,000 foot peak in the middle of the island, there is plenty of gradient to be had in the Dominican Republic.  It just takes rain to bring the mountain streams to life and turn it into a paddler’s paradise. Since my first trip there in 2015, I’ve wanted make it back and in December of 2017, Matthew Beauchamp, Spence Hall, Sarah Koering, Sam Roy and I headed down for a quick trip.

Your photos and especially video are truly breathtaking! Kayaking is such a fun way to spend your free time and even get some good exercises without going to the gym. Have you ever tried pedal kayaks? I think they've got lots of benefits in comparison to standard models. You may read this article to learn more about them. On of the main benefits is the high speed. It's interesting to hear your opinion on this topic.
