Tribe News: '08 Stakeout - Part 2 - Lucifers And Detonator 15/06/2008 - Part 2 of the '08 Stakeout featuring the heavy handed 'Lucifers' and the downtown gem 'Detonator'.

Same Deep Water: Pakistan It all started as a dream....kind of. I got a call from Ben on a freezing Lake Tahoe night while drifting to sleep in the back of my Land Cruiser after a hard day of construction labor. We had been talking about a trip to India, but the first thing he said to me on that late night call was "What do you think about Pakistan?"

OR Kayaking: South Fork Salmon River Paddling this river is no simple undertaking, but it is well worth the effort. The shuttle is very, very long ( 109 miles one way, or about four hours ) and if you aren't familiar with the area, allow some extra time for it. There are a few places where civilization intrudes on the run, but for the most part the river is very remote.

PDX River Explorers: Part 1 Lindsey Creek TR: 1st D Turns into Park & Huck! Lindsey Creek, Oregon Like the majority of these kinds of missions you never really know what you are gonna get. This mission was know different. With any ultra steep micro creeks, which is how I like to refer to creeks of this size, it is a gamble.

Isle of Man Kayak: Sea Kayaking Isle of Man - Boat Swinging. I think my Rock pool Alaw Bach is the ultimate surf boat! Well, so long as you are surfing a tidal race that is. But surfing onto a beach in a force 8 gale with a receding tide; well it's just too long. Try turning 17 ft 20 of fiber glass through 180 degrees to paddle out for your next surf run.

Team Riot Kayaks: Summer Sessions When World Class asked me to create a summer kayaking program for them, I had only one question: How do I get young paddlers ready to go from Class II to Class VI in only two weeks? Like a bolt of lighting from Zeus, the answer came to me: everybody gets mohawks.

Double You Ess: A Taste Of Chile‏ Well it is that time of year again when the snow starts to fly in North America and I start gearing up for another season in Chile. Oh yes…Chile.

Markus Leppaenen: Ammer River In Danger - You Can Help! I just saw on the website of the Kanumagazin an article of Judith Prechtl, where she writes about eleven planned small power stations on the Ammer river, one of the favored creeks in the Alps, which would endanger this classic Bavarian white water run.
