Trying out the lightest oars out there!

I agree with the G. Loomis mantra “weight is a deterrent to performance” and want the lightest, strongest, components I can get. According to their website: http://edgerods.com/oars The wait is over. Another revolutionary breakthrough from North Fork Composites and EDGE Rods. This time – OAR technology. Extending the day and lifetime of a guide or […]

Pigs and Deer and Bears, Oh My!

Our recent down the Salt River in Arizona was a trip with lots of wild life. So much life in the desert. Maybe it was the full moon. Our second night out at Gleason Flat was filled with sniffling, snuffling, and a few grunts – courtesy of the local javelina coming around to check us […]

Awesome Day on the Rio Piatua

Neil — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 02:10:33 +0000

The water on the Piatua was quite high today. Most of the kayakers decided not to run and I put in at the lower put-in. It turned out to be a very fun, nearly continuous, Class III+/IV run with one solid Class IV+. And the shuttle out even after being left on our own? Carry […]
