Photos from Inner City Strife! Jackson Kayak - Enjoy these photos, shot by Craig Kleckner, Nicole Mansfield, Elaine Campbell, and some jerk. I've had 5 or 6 days straight of surfing this epic wave in northern New York. I'm tired and sore, but with a few more days of water left, it's GO TIME! This is truly one of the easiest-access big waves in the world with an easy eddy and roadside location. Enjoy!!!

A few Photos from ELFing Bottom Creek Jackson Kayak - A tropical storm drenched the VA drainage last week, bringing up lots of creeks and rivers in the region. Enjoy these photos of our trip to Bottom Creek, which is a GEM! It was low water, but we had a great time anyway.

Demshitz goes to upstate New York Immersion Research - As the rain pounded in upstate New York Nicole and myself started driving north. Our first stop was the Inner City Strife wave where we met up with Jeremy Laucks, Bryan Hartman, and a few other of demshitz. Here I was able to test drive my new green dry deck from Immersion Research, which is looking very pimp as you will soon see. After a few days of non stop surfing myself, and Jeremy met up with Matt Young and several others for a run down sections 3 and 4 of the Oswegatchie.

Styx River – Helicopter Trip Number 1 padallen - We returned to our accommodation after a great day on the Kakapotahi River. It wasn't long before we began considering our options for the next day. It hadn't rained all day, which meant that now we'd just have to play the waiting game as various rivers slowly dropped back down to a manageable level.

Northern Light Ben Jackson - Despite popular belief, 24hours day light isn't really that conducive to seeing the northern lights. Not so, it lends itself more to staying up too later because it feels like midday instead of midnight.
