Thanks to Brian Lippy and Phil Baribeau for making it happen and having a great two weeks paddling in Pucon.

LJ getting a shot for the show. That's not a light 8,000 dollars he was carrying in his boat.


Me boofing down the Puesco with lots of water.



So now the TV crew is gone and I´m working at a hostel in town and might get a job at a bar too. Things are going to be quiet for a little while, but there are a lot of people coming down to paddle around Christmas, so keep an eye out for some huge action after the peeps arrive. Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

Todd droppin low water Tres Saltos.



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.
