~More Colorado Pic's~

~Colorado~

Caught the Fibark Whitewater Festival the first weekend we were out there. All the pro's were there, new tricks were invented and huge air was had. Stephen Wright won the National Mens Championship title, and Tanya Shuman won the women's. We paddled just about the whole Arkansas River stretch between Granite and Canyon City!! Royal Gorge, Granite throught the Numbers, Browns Canyon.....and of course topped our evenings off at the Salida rodeo hole. Probably the best hole in the country....Had an amazing time!

Sturgeon Falls Last Weekend

Craig and i headed up to Manitoba for a nice 5 day weekend to do some surfing at Sturgeon Falls. Had some run-ins with some thunderstorms that were pretty interesting, and cruised up in the new ride, which was only getting about 20mpg with the boats up top. Met Steve (from Madison) and his son, and a friend of theirs from CO that everyone likingly called "Grandpa" up there the third day, then the forth day drove up to Whitemud, if you like big meaty waves/holes, Whitemud is the place to get your groove on. So much fun!!!

North Shore Creeking

Team Funk cruised up to Minnesota's North Shore last week and hooked up with the Duluth crew for an awesome weekend. We ran Two Island, the Poplar, Kadunce and the Brule.

U.P. Creeking Opener

Brock, Montana Mark, Brian, Nick and Myself cruised up to the U.P. for a great weekend. We hit Falls Creek four times, and the Slate twice. We were lucky enough to catch the Slate while it was in, chances are that will be the only time it runs this year. A few boaters from Madison, and a bunch from IL met us up there to make a great crew of people to be around. The weather was also pretty nice!

Joe-C Farwell Paddle

Brock got a group of us together Wednesday night to suprise Joe for a paddle down the mighty Vermillion in IL. Ended up paddling through sundown, and couldn't have asked for a nicer night. Have fun and be safe out in Colorado Joe!! Its not going to be the same without you around here man-

-Green River Narrows-

The crew went down to NC last weekend to hit up the Green. Awsome weather, upper 70's and sunny, and the only carnage anyone saw was my poor little Huka, its got a nice little dimple in its nose now.

A Few More Pics From Superior

Thanks to Matt for sending me these pics of last weekend. Great shots!!

Another Great Weekend!

Mike, Matt and myself cruised up to the North Shore in MN this weekend to do some snowshoeing and a little winter camping. Great weather, and temps were in the upper 20's and 30's. Hiked up Split Rock Creek and did the loop on the Superior Hiking Trail. Only saw a couple other people on the trails and the scenery was amazing. There were some 6-8 foot waves breaking at almost every point we came around on the way home. About 6 or 7 die hard surfers were out braving the cold water and having a good time.
