Wedding Part I: Bachelor Party

By -
Well, so, I maybe shouldn't post all these photos... I mean, we did some crazy stuff at that bachelor party. Hell, I don't even remember all of it. Fortunately, there were no tigers involved, but it was still a little crazy.

Well, maybe I can sort of hint about the things that happened, without going into any embarrassing details. There's a slideshow at the end, but here are a couple of the photos that are safe for the main page.

A small group of us met up the weekend before the wedding for a traditional bachelor party. John Blyth flew in from Canada a day earlier than everyone else, so he and I decided to start the party a little ahead of schedule.

John partied hard before the party even started. Bachelor Party

Because of John's history, we decided it might be best to put him in the Detox for the duration of the party. He resisted at first, of course, but we eventually convinced him. I think that it did him some good. He still partied pretty hard.

This was just the warmup. Bachelor Party

The next evening, Conor Flynn and Nathan Werner drove in, and we routed them straight from the highway to the next bar. Then the legendary Alex J. Wolfgram joined us for a 14 hour party marathon. I didn't take too many photos, and I really can't say too much about it on the internet, but let's just say that Conor was a little off the hook.

Did I really do that? Bachelor Party

Conor started off with a couple shots. Bachelor Party

Conor about to take yet another shot. This was still only at about 11:00. Bachelor Party

This was Nathan's first real hit. He held out for a long time. Bachelor Party

We had a super late night that night, and ended up walking out at about 1:00. The next day, we were all pretty sore and hungover, so we took it real easy. Fortunately for us, we had planned three days of partying, so after our rest day, we got right back at it. Taylor Cavin joined us, and showed us how these bachelor parties were meant to go.

Taylor almost spills his drink. Bachelor Party

Woah, Nathan. Don't get us kicked out of here. Bachelor Party

Alex wasn't just there for the hot wings... although they were delicious. Bachelor Party

The bouncers really didn't like it when Taylor took off his pants. Bachelor Party

Hey Conor, buddy, you're a married man! Take it easy there. Bachelor Party

I guess it wouldn't be fair not to include at least one photo of myself... Bachelor Party

Woo! After that little epic, we decided to take it back down a notch.

The oldest hangover cure ever. Bachelor Party

Here's a slideshow of all the photos we took:

    What a unique way of spending your bachelor party! It's something you can call fun in your own right, as the thrill of the raging water will keep your adrenaline pumping!

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

Dagger Axiom Review

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&#

Cool things to do with your GoPro

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
