Holiday River Runs
I just got back from week up in Eugene for the holiday and some great kayaking. My first day there I went up the Mckenzie River and got a great high water session in at a rapid called Clover. The bottom left hole was fast and foamy allowing for as good of aerial tricks as any hole I have ever been in. Lots of Front and back loops, and Space Godzillas was the name of the game. Even a fat boy like me can sometimes fly! I got a couple more sessions in there during the week, and every time it was sweet. It brought back a lot of old memories and that was fun as well. Next up was Christmas which was very fun. Lisa and here Mom were with me and we spent most of the day between all of my family members’ homes. We all had a great time, I am lucky to have such an awesome family, and I am just lucky to have a Fiancé who will happily deal with them. Lake Creek ran the day after Christmas, and anyone who knows me know that Lake Creek is my favorite river ever. The level could have been a little lower, or a little higher, but it was still Lake Creek and was awesome. Unfortunately I was under some time constraints so I had to run the river solo which made some of the best surf waves a bit scary due to all of the wood on the water. A little fear never hurt anyone though, so I surfed anyways. My ribs are sore today and that is when I know I had a good session.
