Through blood sweat and tears, bleating, yelling and so much good kayaking the season has come to its inevitable close. This summer has been on of the best in Okere falls, with friends from all over congregating to this small town and having an awesome time chilling together and enjoying these beautiful waterways of the Kaituna river! <br />
This year had one of the best jobs in the business working at Kaituna Cascades. Running Rafting, Kayaking and Topoduo tours down this amazing river, the best in the world some might say! Warm water, super safe and a few awesome waterfalls, Kaituna you are amazing! This summer I even got to show my Parents what this place is all about for the first time. Now its all about sorting out the house and running as many laps as possible on this whitewater gem before we all disperse to all corners of the globe. Here's a selection of the sickest photos from this seasons shenanigans on and off the water!! Enjoy!<br />

</div>
Heres an update from the past season in BC Canada, still based out of Whistler. This season has to have been one of the best, working with Wedge rafting enjoying the Whistler life and getting in some classic boating in our spare time. In Mid August we Missioned up to Northern BC to finally tick off the mighty Stikine river, which exceeded my expectations 10 fold. Absolutely amazing and humbling whitewater from start to finish. The ever changing geology and vast canyon walls always keep your eyes glued to your surroundings. Best river I have ever paddled! <br />
<br />
Just a quick selection of photos from the season, enjoy! Bring on a Norwegian summer next May! <br />

This trip I spent 3 months in total travelling and kayaking the rivers of Colombia with Pete Lodge, Dan Dunn, Jules Domine, Lachie Carracher and Morgan Arnaud. Turns out Colombia is one of the most amazing places for the perfect climate, affordability, beauty, pure quality of whitewater and an unreal amount of rivers still to be discovered. Paradise has been found!<br />

We started in a small town named San Gil, The tourism capital of Santander (Central Colombia). We heard there were lots of classic rivers, lots to discover and that it was a fun and friendly town. Perfect place to start! Colombia rafting expeditions found us from day one, they put us up with a place to stay and helped us have the best trip we could ever have with rides and beta on the rivers in the area.</div>

We found ourselves in a perfect paradise with plenty of quality rivers to run, warm waters, 2 dollar all you can eat meals, tropical fruits and amazing welcoming people. We couldn't pull ourselves away from this place. Throughout the first 2 months of the stay we travelled to a bunch of different areas and sourced out a bunch of new rivers as well as a couple other classics....<br />

<br />
The Rio Suarez is one of the most classic and beautiful multidays in Colombia. We had some epic times with a Morgan (cadox) taking a swim early on day 2. Losing his spray skirt and paddle he ended up walking through sugarcane fields, sleeping in jail cells and hitch-hiking for 3 days before making back home to base in san gil. Its always an adventure in Colombia! On and off the river.<br />
<br />
The first 2 months went pretty quick and it was time for me to head to Mendoza Argentina to begin work for a good friend Mario Mateo, rafting on the mighty mendoza river. My mind was set. I bought a return ticket back to Colombia. This place was too good.<br />
<br />
2013<br />
<br />
In March 2013 I returned to Colombia for 1 month, in this time i paddled a lot of epic and beautiful whitewater with my buddy Jules Domine, based out of Medellin.<br />

Rio Samana, A beautiful granite bowled gorge just a couple hours out of Medellin. The best quality big water I've ever paddled. None stop, epic rapids all day long! This is a shot of Jules standing at lunch spot day 1, taking in the jungle scapes deep in the Samana gorge.<br />

All in all I think Colombia is the new hot spot for kayaking in the very near future. Its safe to travel, the people are awesome, and with the Colombia tourism industry growing and growing every year we are going to be seeing a lot of Colombia in the next few years. I cannot wait to get back to get my hands on some of that goodness!

Hanging out in the small rafting town of Potrerillos it´s been a very fun an chill 2 and a half months. But just in time for my 21st birthday Silvio Gurrieri the local maestro came up with an idea to run the first descent of the Upper Rio Diamante. We planned to take 8 days to paddle 120 km of river, with a drop of 2 km from put in to take out, it was going to be an exciting week!<br />
<br />
Our put in was at 3287 meters above sea level, on the Laguna Diamante, which is at the foot of The ´Volcan De Maipo´ (5500m). We needed to have a permit to enter the area as it is a Natural Reserve. We were officially heading into the middle of the mountains! Silvio and myself took 7 days to make it to our take out bridge at 1322m, passing through multiple canyons and experiencing the vast isolation of the gigantic andes. We call it the Narnia of the Andes, some of the most spectacular and wild scenery I´ve ever seen!<br />

Amazing expedition, we came across Guanaco´s (wa-na-ko´s), the largest mountain camel, Countless Condors and multiple traces of Puma. Wild and untouched paradise, the Upper Diamante is a definate classic multiday. We were back in Mendoza just in time to celebrate my 21st birthday....<br />

<br />
Well its been a good long and sunny summer here in Whistler, good crew and a bunch of awesome boating! This summer season in BC has had one of the biggest turn out of kayakers this area has seen in a long time (if not ever!). So many crews from all over the show discovering the whitewater paradise we have here!! Basing yourself out of whistler you have too many choices on what classic section to paddle everyday. When the majority of rivers to be run are no more than 30 minutes out of town, we have some of the best after work runs in the world.<br />
<br />
Just flicking through some of the best shots from this season,<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

After a bit of partying and messing about with taxes, random bullshit we got our first day of boating in on the 23rd of April. Me, Moxon and Sandy Macewan opened up the Callaghan with a few feet of snow on the banks! Beautiful medium level, but a tad chilly. Scouting around corners with snow banks falling underneath us! Everything was clean, no new wood, and to make it more exciting than it already was Moxon took a swim on the big one. Good on ya mate.

The rest of the week the Hector, Franc, Sandy and Myself t'd up a couple really nice park n' hucks, Machitta falls and a sweet 40 footer on wedgemont creek, aswell as a pretty high water lap Down the Soo, super exciting an fun run with a bunch of chunky holes. Good times, come Friday I looked at the gauges on the Ashlu, and it was all on! Hector, Franc, Sandy, Oz and Myself all boosted for the box!!! woooeee...<br /><br />
We were all pretty fired up for the day! Me and Francois fired up 50/50 with good lines! We scouted out everything, takes some time in that place! Turns out everything is clean and good to go for the season!<br />
A couple go pro stills from friday...<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I found a book of Poems of the New Zealand landscape's the other day at the back of a shelf, and have been slowly reading through them all and this one below has really stood out to me. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><em>like a river sweeping down to the sea: it is an issue</em></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When Sunday morning came along, there was no work to be done, no responsibilities on my shoulders, nothing but to urge to go kayaking so I set off to Huka to meet up with buddies Chris Madden and Johannes Warmbier (Flozzle Wozzle) for some summer time sessions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I arrived around 11am, the flow was 100 cumecs and by the time Chris and Flozzle turned up I was feeling the fire! Chris, having run two laps on the falls the night before at 75 cumecs was already on my level of stokedness!</span></div>

We ran 3 laps in the morning and all went super smooth! This gorge has a big range of moves to make, from a clean creeky boof, into a pushy river-running style drop, a big water ramp ending in big laterals and waves then to top it off a 5 metre+ ramping boof over the falls that just sends you flying!! I love this place. Crystal blue and warm water, choice. </div>

Tongariro National park is such an amazing place for its vast variety of scenery and landscape, and the quality of its whitewater. As you can see the Tongariro river is a stunning place, crystal blue water and its crazy carved ignimbrite canyons. We started the mission off with a lap on this sexy boof.<br />

Next up Poutu Falls, Super nice clean 20 footer to have some fun on! We all ran several laps, stoked on life. Good times, good lines and an awesome bunch of friends. Johannes Warmbier however... Decided to fall backwards 4 metres off the side of the creek while walking up to the waterfall! we were all freaked out, and suprised he didn't injure himself. turns out a tree saved him from falling another 3 metres onto rocks!!

We all camped out at lake Otamangakau, lite a fire and watched the sun set into a clear night accompanied by a few Gin an Tonic's. Sounds pretty romantic.. Because it was! Good times with the crew, Sami Fuchs, Chris Madden, Johannes Warmbier (Flozzy Wozzy), Greg clark and Ladislav (Lady Slayer), Palo and Zuzana from Slovakia and Young Jedi (Sean Curtis).<br />

Well! Happy new year everybody, hope you all have had a great relaxing time over the Christmas and new year celebrations! What will 2012 bring for us? If it's in the same calibur as 2011 hold on because its gonna be a crazy year!!<br />
The past 2 month I've been living with some great friends in Okere falls, a 5 minute walk to the Kaituna river with an amazing, accomodating community! All about the good vibes. I spent Christmas at home making music with family and friends from all over the show. Had a sweet lap down the lower gorges of the Kaituna with Hamish Tills, Mirko Sukany (Milky Man) and Johannes Warmbier (Flozzy Wozzy) on Christmas Eve then it was back home to Te Kawa to consume copious amounts of food and wine! <br />
The 29th came along and I was back to Okere falls, the last few days of play before work were about to begin.<br />

On the 30th we woke up after a night of heavy rain, wasn't hard to find the motivation to gear up and drive to the Kaimai ranges. Me Hamish and Ryan all arrived at the put in of the Tuakopai. We all smashed out 2 laps on the creek, After the second lap we carried on down to the juicy Mangakarengorengo! high water, big water! roudy, so sick! </div>

New Years Eve came along, After a long night of rain. Off Hamish, Gordy, Chris Ewart and Myself to the Tuakopai. Started on the upper with 2 sweet drops, and the rain got harder. We made it to corkscrew and the whole river started to flash flood on us. Turned the day into an epic one, About a metre of brown gritty water rose on us within 5 minutes, we were now on some roudy shit!!!</div>

High water, getting close to Curtain Falls. Now it was a major Big Water feeling on this tight little creek! Huge holes, steep rapids and drops, compression features off the walls. Was white-knuckling all the way to the take out. </div>

We were all pretty jaded at the take out, exhausted, buzzing. Smashed some Subway in Tauranga and it was off to Ohope to get on the bender with the Okere falls crew! </div>

Lou Jull, Tillsy an Myself took a little trip down the lower gorges of the Kaituna this sunday. We didn't fire Gnarly gorge due to it being in the mid 500's range, but it was an epic day none the less!! After a sweet bomb down Awesome gorge, a 30 minute hike around Gnarly and a bunch of random bullshit we were cruising down Smokey. </div>

From start to finish these gorges are crammed with awesome whitewater. Going from open riverbed boulder gardens, to super tight twisting box canyons, it's continuous and it always keeps you busy. Fun boofs and classic moves around every corner! Topping it off is the native forest and birds, warm water and take out being just 30 minutes from Okere Falls. This place is stunning!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> A few boys and I went on a little mission last week to the Waikato Falls section of the Tongariro River. We initially planned on Tree Trunk but due to the copious amounts of snow melt it had turned into a roaring monster! The gorge consists of 3 drops, two of which we ran. First a perfect 5 metre+ ramping boof, second a manky pinch into overhanging ledges (pretty shit but definatly goes) To finish it off another picture perfect boof into the bottom pool. </span></div>

Cheakamus River, 5 minutes from the Whistler village. Crammed with super fun continuous class 4 whitewater from start to finish. Definitely one of best class 4 runs out there. To top it off a sweet boof to start your run off! <br />

Didn't have much money, didn't have much of a plan other than a few emails to Josh Lawry of Futaleufu Explore, and a reply saying "sure, see you when you get here!" It was destined to be a sick journey from the start. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Flew into Buenos Aires, Argentina on Boxing day and started on my way with no Spanish or sense of direction in the totally chaotic city. Found a hostel, after almost getting mugged on the street outside, HA and caught the bus to Bariloche, Argentina a couple days later... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Good times at the Room 1006 Hostel, mucho cervesa over new years and a depleted bank account on new years day. I had no problem hitching to Futaleufu! Some how, some way made it there in 5 days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Futa is a
Beautiful town, just across the border from Argentina. Rich in culture, I
was lucky enough to be there for the rodeo week to watch the locals
ride and lasso cows. My work was all that I imagined it to be, a bunch
of sick people in the crew, living in or outside of a ghetto
shack/office, getting out on the river everyday sharing the same
passion. Great time. Fuckin' bueno! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Was an awesome trip, wouldn't change a thing about it. Amazing clean big water run, with so many sections of world class white water from class 2 to 5, not to mention the pristine crystal clear water and towering peaks to top that off. I love this place. I'll be back. </span></span><br />
