DR 2018: Part 1 - Las Guazaras Canyon

In December of 2018, I traveled back to the Dominican Republic, this time accompanies by my good friends Jason Bordwine, Mikel Carr, and Brandon Dale.

While we were primary focused on still photography on this trip, Mikel and I did shoot quite a bit of footage and I plan to break it into short videos showing the rapids in order for each run and starting them with a beta box about the run.

Below is a quick tour of Las Guazaras Canyon on the Rio Yaque del Norte near Jarabacoa in the Dominican Republic.

Until Next Time...

Summer 2018

The summer of 2018 involved a lot more work and a lot less travel than I prefer, but I still managed to get in a 10-day trip to Colorado with a few friends.

Below is Mark Kieran running one of the slides on the Upper East River near Crested Butte.

Like most years, after summer travels were over I spent a couple months almost exclusively paddling the Ocoee river.  Luckily in 2018 I had the Large Ripper to keep things interesting.

Below is a little video of me putting the Large Ripper through its paces on the Ocoee River in TN.

Until Next Time...

Spring 2018

Spring 2018 was another great one in NorAL.  Plentiful rains kept the local goods running for months on end.  Below is our favorite local stout, LRC Falls.  

Below is a little video I make to give out of towners a little tour down the Alabama classic, Johnnies Creek, which is a tributary of Little River Canyon. For those aspiring to do this run or just wanting to know the names of the many many rapids to learn it better, all the named rapids are labeled in this video.

Until Next Time...
