CKS Squad: Late Season Boof Madness So it's July and Steamboat boating is slowly coming to an end. The C-hole is full of tubers and fish creek is a trickle. Your only semi-convenient after work option is the Elk Box.

Palm Blogs: Triple Combo I think the Falloch has also become one of my favourite rivers due to it having numerous sections, all of which hold some great rapids, and in all the times I've run it, the sun has been out for all but one.

Werner: Hailey Thompson: Living the dream The Junior Olympics were incredible! I spent my first three days at the Gull River, in Minden, Ontario, the site of the 1977 Whitewater World Championships, where we competed in Slalom and boater-x events.

PeakUK: Canada Trip 2009 Ross and I flew out to the Ottawa River at the beginning of June for a month of big water, sweet waves and Tim Horton's coffee! Tom Turner joined us half way through the month.The trip was also a great chance to train on a variety of waves for the World Championships.

Today was one of those days. We hiked up to the bottom of the upper gorge just above zute chute. There was a huge log blocking the entrance to the inner gorge.

Gutters of the Earth: Kings River Triple Crown Luke Liebsch, Macy Burnham, Chris Tulley and I completed what may be the longest contiguous descent of river in Kings watershed history, linking runs on the Middle Kings, Garlic Falls, and the Banzai Run in a hitherto unprecedented act of river-running.

AS Watersports: New kayak -Venture Flex 11 The Flex 11 comes after the Pyranha Fusion and is the touring version of that kayak. Whilst the fusion is GP/ white water the Flex is GP/touring.
