White Water Kimberley… Astral Currently - In February 2010 Lachie Carracher and Anthony Yap lead an international rafting and kayaking trip on Australia's largest river the Fitzroy. The international team of 11 from Africa, North America and Australia drove 4000km from Melbourne to the last road access in the Kimbereley, an outback airstrip from here they charted 4 light aircraft to place them in the most upper reaches of the Fitzroy catchment. The team then paddled from Manning Creek, into the Barnett river, further onto the Hann and after 2 weeks the team reached the mighty Fitzroy.

A better way to run The Fluffster Mt. Hood H2O - Here is Matt trying out a line that has been attempted a couple times by people in our crew this year. While it lines you up nicely and is probably a good low water line, both Matt and Nate say its hard to get speed, so a little surfing may be in the cards if you try this line over a thousand.

Rapidfire SUP by Imagine Eco worldkayak blogs - We have been using and abusing our rapifires, nonstop, for the past two weeks. These boards are tough. They get drug, dropped and scraped across rocks and it doesn't affect them at all

Rugged Northumberland CackleTV - The UK Storm Gathering in Northumberland last weekend was a great, fun & friendly event. It was my first time paddling in the area and I was really excited to kayak to the Farne islands & see what the coastline had to offer. NE England is not typically at the top of a seakayakers 'hit list' but it's well worth a visit.
