so i got up to denver on wed. since then, weve paddled the confluence, clear creek, golden playpark and today union playpark. the confluence was dirty and small... clear creek was humbling...i got jammed up in this little 3,4ft tight slot drop. got pushed into an undercut wall, and long story short went for a swim. scott ran into a rattlesnake on the trail, broke his paddle, and went for a quick dip in the creek too. afterwards we hit the golden playpark, had a good time and went back to denver. union playpark was decent, the flow was up and the water warm...big plans on the horizon. leaving denver tommarow. good times in colorado.

Pagosa Springs
still paddling a ton, boated the taos box acouple days ago with some guys from arizonza, river was up, and was alot of fun. yesterday I left santa fe, and found myself in pagosa springs co, and there is a sick play wave right down town so I did that for the better part of the afternoon. Camped at the river last night, and this morning met some guys from the local raft shop and we ran the lower box of the Piedra. Took a differant line through a rock garden which would be more appropriatly named sieve city, got snaged on a strainer, but lucky for me it was the end of the log, and I was able to squeeze my way off. the only damage was a rip to my spray deck, but I am confident I can patch it right up provided I can keep out of the water long enough for it to dry. I paddled the play wave once I got back, and now im sitting in the parking lot stealing wifi. there is a barbaque tonite here in town, so I'll do that,and most likely get up early and head to durango tommarow, unless I get ambitious and feel like going after the bbq. ill keep you all informed, dont worry.

talked to scott, the 20th I'm driving up to denver, parking my truck with all my earthly possessions at his house, loading up the boards and boats, and setting off! in other news the river here is still rising, but I think it will begin to level off. the wave is running super fast right now with a foamball on top. there is also a semi glassy wave just above the main wave which offers up some fun frontsurfs.the only problem is eddy service is almost non existant. souse hole at the bottom of the run is just a hydrolic with a massive wall of water seperating you from the takeout. everthing is good, and once again ive begun the process of packing up all of my stuff. seperating whats going, whats staying, and whats going in the garbage. get ready!

Level Up
so everybody say, Thanks Wes! Because of our good friend Wesley, we have a deal with Level Six kayaking. Now we will be able to get some much needed new gear. Thats huge dude, thanks alot! If anyone needs some new gear or apparell check out thier site http://www.levelsixinc.com .In other news, Scott is back in Colorado and we are gearin up and getting ready to hit the road. I have been paddling a ton, the river is at 2 grand right now (before was like 700) and alot of the playspots are getting washed out, but it is creating a whole new set of wave trains and hydrolics. The bad news is, because of alot of eddys washing out, it is a pain in the ass to get good pics and videos. I hope your getting excited, because I am freaking out. The 20th is almost here!!!
