Chile Video(s)

By -
It's amazing how my life just seems to go on hold whenever we come back from a trip. Since returning from Chile, I have felt like I have barely had any time to edit photos or video. However, by assigning smaller homework assignments and skipping out on my research, I finally managed to put together a little video with the footage from our Grand Prix trip to Chile.

While on the final push of editing, I couldn't quite find a spot for the GoPro footage from the day where I swam on the Nevados. I wanted to sort of show the mini-story there, but there just wasn't a good place for it in the song, so I slapped together a short video of just the swim itself. Thus far, the video of the swim, which I spent about 10 seconds assembling, has been more popular than the main Chile video, which I worked on over the course of several weeks. Hopefully this says more about the paddling public than it does about my editing skills.

And, on a completely unrelated note, here are a couple random photos that we couldn't fit into the rest of the Chile series of posts.

Here is a slideshow of the random photos:

And here are a few of my favorites:
An interesting view of Casuela Sucia.

Jordan the canoeist on the casuela.

Blair makes the #2 boof in the Palguin race.

Natalie on the Turbio.  The water dropped out during the hike in, but it was fun.

Boofing at Turbio takeout.

Our last day was a photo shoot day on the Upper Palguin, very mellow and fun.

Pucon scenery.

I leave you with this lizard.  Enjoy.

Dagger Axiom Review

By -

The Axiom is a planing hull slicey-stern design from Dagger Kayaks. A lot of what I like about it could apply to any slicey boat, so I'm going to split the review into two parts: one part about slicey boats in general, and the other about what's specific to the Axiom. I should also preface this review with a note that slicey boats aren't right for every situation or every paddler. This review is basically aimed at a time-traveling version of myself from the past. I'm imagining a creekboater that hasn't really thought about getting a slicey boat. If you're a beginner or intermediate paddler, or an older paddler who has the skills but not the desire to crush hyphie lines, then there are still plenty of reasons to consider a slicey boat. I'm just not going to discuss them much here in this review. Slicey Boats A lot of advanced paddlers really enjoy paddling slicey boats. If you ask why, they always seem to reply with something along the lines of "it...

Or, for my kayaking audience: Sweet ill stuff to do while yo leg is broke. Specially if you are ballin on a budget. Brown. EDIT: I have written another article, featuring a newer stern mount, but also a short essay about my philosophy of GoPro filming. You can check it out here . Well, as you all know, I recently broke my leg, so I can't kayak for a while. During my downtime, I have been playing around with my camera equipment, and I thought I would write a post about some of the cool things that you can do to your GoPro. The GoPro HD cameras have revolutionized action cinematography, because they are so accessible and yet so high quality. I am still learning, but here are a couple of tips and modifications that I have found that help you get even more professional looking results with a minimal investment. I started this article by just writing about the time lapse tools, but then I just had to make a video showing them in action, and then it all spiraled out of cont...

Slave flood!

By -

Yes, the Slave might be one of the largest rivers in the world, but this week, the flows almost doubled. On Monday, it was too low for Rollercoaster, which is a low water feature. On Tuesday, it was too high for Rollercoaster, and maybe high enough for the Sweet Spot, which is a high water feature. By Wendsday, is was too high even for the Sweet Spot. We have no idea what to paddle. We made a couple expeditions out to different spots, but mostly we've been surfing the waves out in the middle of the playground channel, which are good for once. We're all waiting eagerly for the levels to drop from "flood" to "high" so that we can hit Sweet Spot and the Forgotten. In the meantime, enjoy some random photos from the spots that we've investigated. Photo by John Blyth. Full album First we went to Rollercoaster, since we couldn't believe that it would be too high just one day after being too low. The only moves that we could do there were downriver m...
