Been a few since an update, eh?
In short: Rodrigo and I paddled a few more days of high water classics, found some wood in unfortunate places, and waited for the rest of the crew to arrive.

Synchronized paddling.


Crew arrives:
LJ, Todd, and Tao are fired up to get the goods and we go paddle minutes after they get into Pucon.

Oops. Boofing is definitely one of my favortite things to do, but this one was a little scary.


I'm okay though and we kept on paddling every day with high water and motivated crew.

I thought my boof was big. Todd proves that you can boof bigger.

Luckily he flattenned out about 40 feet up and plugged deep breaking his paddle in the huge boil.
