Dagger Blogs: Going off the lip Running waterfalls is one of my favorite things in kayaking, even thought it only lasts for few seconds, it is one of the greatest feelings ever. That doesn't mean you should go and run every single drop you find, running a waterfall takes big responsibility and compromise with yourself and with all the people you are paddling with.

Wavesport Blogs: Poe Tsang Poe It is about a neglected section of the N Feather that many Cali boaters have passed up and driven over, denied flow in the dewatered canyon downstream of the first bridge. Right now the plumbers are working on the pipes in the Poe Powerhouse, so we get to go whitewater boat riding.

Mt. Hood H2O: Hagen Gorge We didn't get out of our boats between the log dam and Euphoria falls as usual. I love this creek for this reason. Just flying down the creek is a great day of boating.

Palm Blogs: Time Trial For anyone wanting to smash the time, I'd guess the level was on the upper end of low, although I don't know it well enough to give an accurate gauge.

Wavesport Blogs: Whitewater Chile You might want to consider making your trip to Chile much simpler by checking out the Guide Book.

Fluid Blog: 2009 Summer on the Gatineau River by Mat Coldebella A small video of my summer trip on the Gatineau River. A full camping week on the sand next to the High Tension wave, grilled fishes, sun and friends.

Immersion Research: The South Platte I have finally gotten to getting some of the video edited. So here is the video of our time on the South Platte.

Fraser Valley WW: Lower Chipmunk Creek Chipmunk Creek is one of the largest tributaries to the Chilliwack River. We put in just above the first bridge over the creek and ran it from there down to the confluence. This is a short section that starts with a couple ledges then some steep boulder bashing.

Dave Hoffman: A Big Swell Hits the Oregon Coast The waves were mushy, disorganized, and huge. They just kept coming. Just standing on the beach I was intimidated. There's something about the vast enormity of these waves that hits me in the chest.

Werner: Great Gear...Great Cause Werner's Healthy Waters partner, the Norther Forest Canoe Trail, is hosting a fundrasing auction.

P&H Paddlers: Surfing at Tybee Island Fun in the sun on Tybee Island at the BCU Skills Symposium and Tybee Island Surf Jam.
