On the drive up the mountain from the take-out, the view opened up to look back toward the river canyon. I love bright colors and managed to get a pic of the fully illuminated nature.

Early one morning I was doing yoga and meditating on my deck as the sun rose, and a stunning rainbow appeared in front of the rainclouds for probably 15 minutes. It was a rare and special experience.

I love to create, and if I can create and enjoy whitewater & h2o at the same time, it’s a perfect day. Before GoPro’s hit the market, I did a lot of filming by hand while riverboarding. Here I am in Italy, filming a bunch of French hydrospeeders on the...

Running class 5 Rigormortis on Clear Creek in Colorado, I knew I absolutely didn’t want to hit the hole on river left. But dropping into a hole just upstream flipped my riverboard upside down, leaving me deep in the water basically swimming on my own. As I...

One of the first days on the river that I used the new foam hydrospeed I’d built after returning from France was on Canyon Creek in Washington State. I’d run it before on the foam and duct tape riverboards, but the hydrospeed was much better – more...
