<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started paddling the Manic Elite MCQ last summer after many years wanting to switch paddles. I got it right in time for the Stikine and it was awesome to have such a nice paddle on such beautiful river. Since then I haven’t looked back and I am so happy I finally decided to join Galasport after many years of considering it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In my opinion Galasport produces the nicest paddles on the market right now. They are strong and durable, lightweight, sexy and most important they feel good on the water, the make your paddling experience that much better because of their blade shape and design.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many people see Galasport as slalom paddles only as the company produces specific slalom paddles, slalom boats and more, however for the past few years Galasport has widened their paddle range to creeking and river running with multiple designs. Their river running paddles are strong and durable and so nice to use... its my only paddle for everyday.</span><br />

<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Manic Elite MCQ is a 100% two parts carbon paddle. This means the blade and the shaft are one single part and the two shaft assemble in the middle of the paddle. Having a two parts paddle means you have a stiffer paddle as you only have one assembly point instead of two and you don’t have to worry about blades coming off loose or anything like that. Having such a smooth shape at the blade/shaft assembly means the blade glides really well and smoothly through the water at every stroke which translates to more controlled and precise strokes.</span></div>

<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another awesome thing Galasport makes is the <b>USA Connector</b>, which is a super strong and easy to use tool that can be set on any paddle and make it a two parts breakdown. This is really helpful for traveling and to lend your paddle to other people as its really easy to adjust the length and the feather. Once set the connector is really strong and the paddle is still super stiff, its just like using a normal paddle but you can play with the length and feather as you paddle down the river. Its really helpful for racing, multidays, freestyle, traveling and flying and it can also work great as an expedition breakdown paddle.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: justify;">The second weekend of June was the date, the IV North Fork Championship was going down in Banks, Idaho. The North Fork of the Payette is an awesome river that has 15 miles of amazing roadside whitewater. The water is warm, big and pushy making for lots of great rapids and hard moves. With the road on one side and the railway on the other the river is full of rock boulders that help create those rapids making them shallow and pretty dangerous at the same time though.</span><br />

On Thursday, over 80 racers participated in “The Expert Race,” an over 7 minute timetrial from the top of “Juicer” to the bottom of “Cruncher” on the Lower 3 miles of the North Fork Payette. The top 5 finishers of those that weren’t already qualified for Saturdays race would become Elite members and have the chance to race down jakes so everyone gave it all they had. I was happy and surprised to take first after not really pushing it too much, good start!</div>

On Friday we did some training at Jakes and there was a BoaterX in S-Turn which I didn’t attend not to get too tired…</div>

Saturday was the day! After a couple practice laps I was feeling good and ready to put down a fast time on my first run. Went off and immediately missed the second gate… it was over, I just floated the course to the finish and tried not to get too pissed… </div>

I tried to forget about it and give it all again on my second run, only one chance. Started off the ramp and charged, luckily barely made the first second gate combo, kept on going and put together an ok run. After the race we all floated downstream and had a good time padding under the summer heat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyone was nervous at the awards, no one knows anything until its announced… I was super stoked to take first place! Even if my run wasn’t as good as I could have paddled I’m really happy I managed to put it all together for that second run and made it count, the pressure was definitely on!!</div>

After spending the first two weeks of the month of May in Canada with the rest of the Adidas Sick-line Freestyle crew shooting around BC and Quebec I got back home really sore and tired. We paddled pretty much everyday and had forgotten how exhausting freestyle actually is! A couple days home to unpack and repack and off to the next stop, Montana! We left early on Friday and drove all day until we got to Big Fork, a small town at the mouth of the Black Swan river. Northern Montana is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. At the base of Glacier Park everything is green surrounded by white caped peaks and emerald lakes, it’s really awesome!</div>

The Big Fork Festival was celebrating their 40th edition and it was a great one indeed. It’s definitely one of the oldest kayaking festivals in the US and still attracts a lot of competitors from all over the North West. The organization does a great job setting up the slalom course and and taking care of the competitors providing free camping next to the river, dinner, prizes and great hospitality. </div>

Even though the water was a little bit lower than last year the slalom course was still challenging and the whole run is still great. On Saturday we did the slalom race on the Staircase rapid. We did two runs through 18 gates that made for some pretty fun moves and did another lap in the afternoon to paddle the whole section which was really fun. On Sunday we did the downriver and the giant slalom down the whole ‘Wild Mile’ section. The name says it all, one mile of good rapids all the way to the take out right in downtown Big Fork. The downriver took around 7 minutes an a bit longer for the GS that included 6 gates throughout the whole run.</div>

It was a really fun weekend for both of us and even better after the awards. </div>

The first weekend of May was the date, the awaited Little White race would finally happen and it was epic. A dry and low snow winter and spring meant really low water levels all season long, however the river is still great offering good rapids and super fun moves. The LW race is one of the most well known races on the circuit, the river is beautiful and pristine with clear drinkable water surrounded by thick old growth forest and some of the best and most fun rapids there are, its an amazing place!</div>

In the evening we had the Gorge Paddling Film Festival across the river in Hood River, OR. There were a bunch of sick video entries and a big fundraiser for First Descents. In the end our entry from SB Productions won the first place on the Pro category so it was an awesome night for us. A good night of sleep and the big day is finally here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: justify;">
We drove up to the put in and geared up, enjoyed the sun for a while and slowly made our way to the start line. The racecourse is really continuous and has many tight lines and moves, specially at low water being extremely technical. Its a 16 minute plus race so you want to make sure you don’t go all out at the start and have nothing left for the end. I tried to pace myself and only did a few mistakes that obviously costed me a ew good seconds. In the end though I was happy with my run, felt good in the water and enjoyed it! I was happy taking first after a couple years on second place and felt I performed good on my race run. It was an awesome day followed by a bunch of sick Spirit laps to say goodbye for the season to our beloved Ldub! </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IR is most famous because of their world renowned skirts. They are the best in the market simply because they are the safest while still being dry, durable and comfortable to wear and paddle everyday. Their rubber band stays on your boat on every drop or waterfall you run and you can even land on your head and still stay in your kayak which is pretty nice sometimes.</span></div>

I guess you are normally supposed to do this before the <span class="il">year</span> actually ends but I was busy traveling in southern Chile so I didn't have time then. Here it is anyway!</div>

2014 was a great <span class="il">year</span>, super fun and almost 100% injury free with lots of kayaking on my favorite destinations! So stoked to be living this life right now, focusing on traveling, kayaking and trying to enjoy life to the fullest!</div>

I spent the winter in Okere Falls, New Zealand where I did lots of paddling on the Kaituna, slept in a bed every night and had tons of fun hanging out, learning to surf and taking part on the different kiwi events. Went to the South Island in February but got injured on the Citroen BoaterX and couldn't paddle any of the West Coast classics. I guess I'll just have to go back!</div>

Early March we flew to Vancouver, bought a 22 <span class="il">year</span> old Astro van and started the drive south to the Gorge, WA. Settled down at Todd's trailer and paddled non stop. We had nice weather and great levels on the Little White and White Salmon, it was a great season with lots of boating with amazing friends on my favorite spot in the world. Spring went by really fast and we left to the White Water Grand Prix in Quebec for a couple weeks in May.</div>

We found big waves and lots of ice! It was good times with lots of freestyle and some good boating around Quebec and a 5th place finish with some bad luck and pretty average performances on most of the stages.</div>

After Canada it was time for some races on the NW! First off we went to the Big Fork event in Montana, organized by my friend Jonny Meyers it was a great weekend with 3 different races (downriver, slalom and GS) for the overall. I was so stoked to take first and bring home some cash! </div>

One of my personal most important races of the season was next, the Little White Salmon race! After some good training this<span class="il">year</span> I was feeling really good, the 9r prototype was working really well and I was stoked. Race day didn't go too well though, never felt good during the 15 minutes race, had a numb leg and went too hard at the start having nothing left for the end… Not feeling good about my downriver race run I was fired up to do well on the Spirit slalom. Training run was great, race run I go off and miss gate 1! Ahhhh anyways it was a great weekend and finishing second wasn't that bad! Stoked for Evan to take his second title and can't wait for another chance next <span class="il">year</span>!</div>

After Ldub race is Idaho bound! We drove to Banks to paddle the North Fork everyday and get ready for the NFC III. On Thursday we had the Expert Lower 3 race, a 10 minutes race down some class III-IV where its pretty hard to go fast as there are lots of crashing waves and white water. I did my best but had lots of trouble keeping the boat under control and doing many mistakes, at the end I got first with less than a second lead though, it was a tight one! After the premiere in Boise where we showed our new SBP reel 2014 and partied a bit everyone got ready for Saturday at Jakes. I had two decent runs but lost quite a bit of time on gate 2 on both runs and hit a few more rocks than desired. This conservative runs were only good enough for 4th place this <span class="il">year</span>, will have to go faster and take more chances next <span class="il">year</span> for sure!</div>

We paddled the North Fork for another week and then headed up to the Payette River Games just a few miles upstream. I entered the freestyle, boaterX and 8Ball races. Ended up 10th at the freestyle event after a couple training sessions, got 4th at the 8Ball and luckily took the win at the boaterX going home with some more dolla$! So stoked! After the PRG I started the drive back west and then north back to Canada, it's BC time! </div>

Got to Whistler early July, started working at Wedge rafting and padded the Cheak and Callaghan everyday with Ali and friends, pretty good times! Unfortunately the levels weren't as high as I expected but it was a good time! We entered the Cheak time trial and the Callaghan race. I managed to win both events and it was a really nice time.</div>

Time went by fast and the Stikine dropped in earlier than expected so by August 1st I quit and got ready to head north. After a long drive we got to the put in of this magical place ready to go for the first trip of the season. Nice weather, good flow and a sick crew, let's go! We took it easy shooting a bunch and making it the traditional 3 day trip. We did another 3 day trip with great water levels and an awesome one day. It's such an amazing place!</div>

After the Stikine we went to Revelstoke where there wasn't much water but enough for Sutherland and Pinkston. After a couple days we drove back to Whistler to finish off the trip on the Ashlu. A couple great weekends on the box and some days on the Cheak left us all tired and ready to go home.</div>

Landed in Spain mid september, hang out for a week painting my grandmas house and paddling in Sort and left to Sickline. Sickline was great, we had good flows and pretty nice weather overall. I surprised myself and I managed to win the qualification on the lower section and clocked a couple fast times on the top section, however I didn't have a good run on my final and had to content myself with 4th after doing good all weekend… This was my best result yet and a good experience for next edition.</div>

Right after Sick-Line we flew back to BC to finish The Keyhole Red Bull project as we needed Fall lows water flows. Everything went great and I went back home for a few days before flying to Chile for the whole winter.</div>

After some days of traveling troubles I landed in Chile late October and paddled the Maipo just outside of Santiago. We then moved south and paddled around Pucon including a couple trips further south to GolGol area. Mid Novemeber we flew to Mexico for the Rey del Río, an event in Agua Azul that included a BoaterX and a Waterfall comp. After the event we went to Tlapacoyan and paddled on the Alseseca and Jalacingo, two of the best runs in Mexico.</div>

After Mexico we spent some time around Pucón and then traveled south following the water and paddling as many rivers as possible. It's been an awesome time just camping everywhere and paddling all of the good classics that still have some water. It's been really dry and all the snow and rain from the winter is almost gone so the rivers are pretty low right now but there's always water and rivers to paddle, you just have to keep going south.</div>

From there we drove to the río Tulijá commonly known as the Agua Azul due to the turquoise blue color of its water because of the minerals it contains. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We did a few training runs on Friday and a time trial to seed everyone for the boaterX. Saturday started early with the first rounds of the boaterX. The course was really narrow with only one deep line so it was really hard to pass anyone, the time trial played a huge role on the boaterX as choosing your starting position meant a lot. In the end I didn't make the final (top 4) but I did manage to win the losers heat and ended up 5th. Not a good result but that's all I could do with the seeding I had (6th). Congrats to Pat, Dane and Egor and Isaac for going fast and taking the top spots.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Sunday we all headed downstream to a set of three waterfalls, a 30ft, 50ft and 40ft. Every paddler had one run and he was judge on his technique, style, progression… There were sick lines, tricks off the waterfalls and all sorts of cool stuff. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personally I didn't have a good run and even broke my paddle on the second drop… Anyways it was a fun day. In the end I ended 7th 1 point from Sam. Pat Keller took the win followed by Rush and my bro Aniol.</span><br />

Departing from Bracelona to New York and to Panamá for a couple days layover as my boat wasn't allowed in the plane after making it all the way there… a day of paperwork and 400$ less and my boat was on its way via Cargo with the same airline… thanks Copa Airlines!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways made it to Chile and went straight to the río Maipo just outside of Santiago where my good Astorga friends live and fight against the <i>Alto Maipo Project</i> the Government and private corporations are trying to put on their river and land. The plan is to divert the river and all it's tributaries into 70 km of pipes to produce energy for the copper mines in the north. This means drying a whole region with multiple valleys and rivers and taking all of the drinking water for Santiago polluting its waters and mixing them with residual waters from gold mines and others to be purified later on… I really hope that the Government and politicians that rule Chile can see further than their own pockets and decide what's best for Chile and for its people, NO ALTO MAIPO! </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px; text-align: start;">Learn more about the Alto Maipo Project here: </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NoAlProyectoAltoMaipo" style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px; outline-width: 0px; text-align: start;" target="_blank" title="https://www.facebook.com/NoAlProyectoAltoMaipo">https://www.facebook.com/NoAlProyectoAltoMaipo</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After settling down and paddling the Maipo for a few days we started the drive south with a first stop at the río Claro. The Claro is one of the most amazing rivers in the world, clean water and the most beautiful lava canyon you can imagine with all kind of drops and rapids, it truly is a kayakers dream. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last time I was there was in 2007 together with Chris Korbulic on what we thought was the first descent of the 'Garganta del Diablo', my favorite section. It took us a long day to scout as much as we could from the canyon rim, and I think we only saw the 20% of it? Anyway we put on the next day hoping everything would be fine and we discovered one of the most awesome places on earth. It was such an awesome feeling to go back and remember everything from that tip… We got there late afternoon and put on straight away. </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The water was low but we paddled some of the best white water ever so we war so stroked!! The next day we ran the <i>'Cocina and 22 saltos' </i>into <i>Garganta</i> and finished off with the <i>7 tazas</i>. Such an awesome day of kayaking surrounded by the most polished and smooth basalt walls you'll ever find, its amazing, you have to be in there to understand it and experience it by yourself. After another day of some more paddling we started to long drive south to Pucón. </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The levels in Pucón were still good when we got there so we rushed on paddling the Nevados, Trancura, Palguin and Puesco at good flows. All this runs are really close to town and it's easy to paddle three rivers in one day so within a couple days I was already pretty sore but so stoked to be down there after so much time since I paddled any of this runs, for me it's like a rediscovery trip as the last time was 7 years ago and a lot has changed since then, the rivers, the rapids, the gear and myself so its an awesome personal experience to live it all again. After a few days of great weather levels started to drop and we decided it was time to head south.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent July working as a raft guide in Whistler and paddling on the Cheak and Callaghan daily waiting for the Stikine to come in, which did and really early! August 2nd and we were getting ready to drive north for our first run of the season! We got there to find great water levels and amazing weather! We had an awesome season opening 3 day trip, another 3 day trip and a one day that was great. Overall we had great weather, some nice/high flows on our second trip and lowish on the others which still make it an amazing run! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sickline was great, there was 7 of us from Sort so the drive went by pretty fast. Once there it's a great life, wake up, eat, kayak and sleep. It was great to sleep on nice beds and cook in a kitchen after so many months of traveling and camping!</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The race started really good for me, winning the qualification and quarter finals, made the super final in second place as lucky loser after Sam knocked me out on semis but my final run wasn't good enough and ended up taking 4th. Started off and hit a rock, what made me make more mistakes and not have a nice rhythm, felt slow throughout all the course and yeah I was almost 2 seconds slower… Hope to learn from this year and be more prepared next year!!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
For the first two weeks of May I went to Canada to paddle and compete at the White Water Grand Prix in Ontario and Quebec. The WWGP is a 6 stage competition (3 freestyle and 3 racing events) over 15 days on some of the biggest white water!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
I had been racing and doing quite a bit of creeking before the event, but I hadn't sat on a play boat for a while and specially for a big and cold wave like the ones they have in Canada, so I was pretty nervous about the freestyle events.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
It all started really good with Stage 1 - Big Trick Contest on Gladiator, Ottawa. We had an awesome sunny day with a nice wave and lots of positive energy. I felt good in the wave and managed to land a few big tricks that later on would give me a 5th place finish, I was pretty happy with it!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; min-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
We then moved on with Stage 2 - BoaterX at the Rouge river. We had a time trial and then the boaterX. I made onto semis and then got unfairly disqualified at the finish line unable to made it into the finals. I was pretty disappointed with this result as the decision was wrong and I lost a bunch of points that would later affect on the overall ranking.</div>

Stage 3 was the Time Trial on the Shawinigan river, we gad three runs and the two best counted. The race was super short (under 1 minute), I had an ok first run, a bad second and a good third. Not stoked with my racing but luckily it was enough for a 4th place finish.</div>

Stage 4 was on Black Mass on the Mistassini, a really big, fast and dynamic wave that allows for a lot of moves but it's pretty tricky. However I did some good tricks during training I didn't manage to put a ride together for the competition which put me in 15th place, another result I'm disappointed with due the fact that I didn't throw any trick…</div>

Stage 5 was the Freestyle Showdown also on the Mistassini river, we surfed an amazing wave that allowed for every trick and awesome rides. I couldn't have the ride I wanted but I was able to put some tricks together and came away with a 9th place.</div>

Last Stage 6 was the Giant Slalom on the Base Caché river close to Quebec city. We had two runs, I had a 1.20 on my first and a 1.17 on my second that would have given me the win if it wasn't because I touched one of the only 4 gates there were on the course… Bummed about that for sue but it was over!</div>

<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
At the end a 5th place overall which I'm happy with but I want to think that I could have paddled a lot better, specially on the races. The Grand Prix is a tricky event with lots of great paddlers, constant changes and some difficulties, so I'm happy I was able to improve my 7th place finish from 2011. I'm hoping I can paddle the way I want on the next edition!</div>

For the last 15 days of our stay in NZ we decided to go down to the South Island to paddle on the West Coast and do a couple fun races. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned with me getting hurt on the first race.</div>

The day after we arrived was the Citroen race, an awesome BoaterX down a big volume rapid called Citroen on the Kawerau river in Queenstown. A really fun rapid with a cool entrance around a big boulder in the middle followed by some big crashing waves and diagonals, and the walk is not too bad! I got there Saturday morning and did a couple laps before the event to get to know the rapid a bit, then we started the boaterX. I did a few rounds and after a few heats advanced to the final. </div>

Unfortunately though as I pushed off the ramp and landed in the water another competitor landed on me so the bow of his boat hit my hip really hard. That moment I paralyzed and screamed like never before, so much pain! I tried to paddle but I had no power and the pain was really high, but I was floating fast into to rapid so I had to do something… I paddled/floated down the rapid and eventually ended up at the bottom where I got out of my boat. I couldn't walk but I did float down to the take out. Thanks Brad for carrying my stuff and driving me around! </div>

I'm now finally back on the Pacific North West, specifically White Salmon in the Washington/Oregon border by the Columbia river. The Gorge is an amazing place, extremely beautiful and wild it offers many awesome runs really close by, and the amount of kayakers in town is huge, so there's always someone keen to go for a lap!<br />

My favorite one is the Little White Salmon, only 15 minutes away offers the best amount of white water per lap; super fun moves, drinkable water and amazing old rain forest.</div>
There are a lot of paddlers here this Spring including my brother so we are always going to the Ldub, it's really good!<br />
So all in all life's real good! Stoked to be where I am and doing what I love. Thanks y'all!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of events happened on the river this season already, first of was the 6 hours Enduro team race which I had to miss due an injury on my ribs while kayaking another river early December. Next up was the Xmas @ Kaituna event held just before Christmas; progressive BoaterX with 4 different courses while going down the river, 8Ball race, beach ball team race and blow up toys float. This was a super fun event and I was stoked to be back in my boat after a few weeks off due injury and really happy after taking the boaterX and the 8Ball race with some lucky rounds! The swim/float down the river with another 30 persons was sick! Cheers Brendan and Lou for organizing it!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Jan 11th we had the Andy Duff Memorial, where you get to race down the river in play boats, creek boats, tandem, swimming and rafting. It was a super fun afternoon and very exhausting, specially the swimming, but really cool. Thanks Douglas for organizing that year after year! A week after that was the Okere Falls Champions a multi sport race organized by Jamie Sutton. You start sprinting to your bike and biking for a couple k's around the lake, then running a bit and swimming on the lake and down the slalom course, after that you jump on your kayak felling dizzy and with no power at all and try to make it down the river as fast as possible, carry your boat up a bit and run up the road to the Okere Falls Store where you have to skull a beer, which after doing all that is probably the last thing you want to do… Anyway a really fun race which includes 4 different sports and takes about 30 minutes of going all out. Mad props to Tim for crushing everyone on that one! Ben Robson was second and I was happy with third place!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next up was the first round of the NZ Extreme Racing Series, with the Kaituna Time Trial and the Wairoa Extreme Race. The Kaituna's been really low for the last couple weeks, at about low 200's, so the race was really physical with some nice and long flat stretches but still fun and fast rapids. Mike killed the time trial with a 7'16" and I was third after local legend Kenny Mutton.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also raced long boats and after a nice lap with the Hurricane I got first place which I was stoked about! We finished the afternoon with a three person team relay that was really fun as well!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Sunday we had the Wairoa race with a 5 minutes time trial to start with and a head2head down the 'Roller coaster' rapid. I managed to get second on the time trial behind Mike who again did a great time trial run but unfortunately I got knocked out on the earlier rounds. Overall a great weekend that wouldn't have been possible without the time and effort of Brendan, Lou and Tyler, thanks guys!!</span></div>

Lo primero que hice después de no se cuantas horas de vuelo pero muchas fue remar el río Nevis cerca de Queenstown que sigue siendo uno de mis favoritos. Muy continuo y muy divertido, con movimientos técnicos, pendiente, rocas y rápidos muy interesantes durante horas. Un río increíble con buen tiempo y buenos amigos.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I flew mid november straight into Queenstown, where I met up with Dylan, JV, Shannon, Willz and Brendan. We paddled the Nevis river near Queenstown which is still one of my favorites, just super continuous, lots of fun and technical moves, good drops, good water, steep and really long. Such a good run with nice weather and good friends to show me the lines.</span></i><br />

El paisaje es increíble, y aunque no remamos mucho vimos unos paisajes magníficos. Después regresamos hasta Queenstown/Wanaka hicimos algunas bajadas más en el Nevis y nos fuimos hasta Christchurch y volamos a la isla norte.</span></div>

The scenery over there is amazing, and however we didn't get to paddle much we got to see some amazing places. After a few days hanging out south we drove back up to Queenstown/Wanaka for a few more laps on the super fun Nevis. It was already lower but still really nice. After that we drove to Christchurch and flew to the North Island.</span></i></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><i>I'm super stoked about taking my first AWP World Series Title for 2013! The AWP World Series is the World Cup of Extreme Kayak Racing, a series of 6 events (3 in Europe and 3 in north America) that determine the overall winner at the end of the season. The AWP World Series have been put together for the last few years to create a world cup racing circuit with the best events in the world and try to promote kayaking and extreme racing. It's really cool to see so many fast paddlers on all the events and it creates great competition. I think the future of this side of the sport is really interesting and has some great potential.</i></span></div>

<i>Right before the last event (the green race) Eric Deguil, Sam Sutton and myself we tied for first place what meant that the Green race would be the tie breaker and determine the 2013 World Cup Champion. I was feeling quite a bit of pressure, the race is really big (over 100 competitors) and it's the most important race in north america. Being at it's 18th edition they've been going for almost 20 years! </i></div>

<i>The race wasn't great for me and I didn't get to paddle well on race day however I managed to come ahead of frenchman Eric Deguil what gave me the overall World Cup victory.</i></div>

Stikine+Sickline+Green race<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Después de dos semanas remando el Stikine llegó la hora de volver para casa, casi después de un año para arriba y para abajo del continente Americano (México - Chile - México - Canadá - USA - Canadá). El Stikine ha sido uno de los mejores momentos de este viaje, haciendo 4 descensos de unos 100km y con más de 100 rápidos de agua grande en cada uno… sin duda uno de los mejores ríos del mundo rodeado de un paisaje espectacular, paredes verticales y por suerte buen tiempo y caudales estables y buenos amigos! Gracias Stikine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>After two weeks on the Stikine with the rest of the Sick-Line crew I finally flew home after almost a year of travels up and down the American continent. The Stikine is one of the best rivers I've ever paddled, almost 100km, 100 big water rapids, 3 to a few hours on the river, you choose, best scenery, amazing canyon, great friends and amazing times! Definitely hard to beat and this season up there was awesome with stable flows and amazingly nice weather! Thank you for the good times!</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Una semana por Sort y enseguida tocó ir para la Sick-Line en Austria, la carrera más difícil e importante del año. La sick-line es una carrera muy corta(de menos de un minuto) por lo que no puedes cometer ningún fallo, ya que sino los otros 150 participantes te pasan dejando fuera de las finales. hay mucho nivel y muchos palmistas rápidos, sobretodo palistas de slalom de toda Europa.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent a few days home and soon enough I headed north for the most important and harder race of the season, the Adidas Sick-Line in Oetz, Austria. On its 5th edition now the event is in my opinion one of the hardest without a doubt. There are a lot of paddlers (about 150) and a lot of really good paddlers from all over the place plus some of the best slalom teams in the world (germany, czech republic, slovenia, slovakia… the course is really short and explosive (under a minute) and if you do one mistake you loose a lot of time and there's no place to recover, the race is over.</span></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I felt like I didn't have much time to prepare for it as i was on the Stikine, however being in the water for most of the year without any injury made quite a difference with my previous editions. I finally reached the super final again and after a not great final run I ended up 6th, just behind team mate Sam Sutton. Props to Egor for taking third! I was happy with the result and hope I can do better next year. </span></i></span></div>

The weekend prior to the race I attended the Russell Fork race in Kentucky, just a few hours out of Asheville. I paddled the river once and the raced it, was interesting to see how much I could remember and trying to go as fast as possible while deciding where to go at the same time, definitely an interesting experience! I ended up 5th after I got lost and dropped into an eddy/hole that flipped me… All good though, training for the Green race was on. </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La carrera no me fué nada bien y no conseguí remar cómodo el día de la carrera. Tanto en long como en short boat no estuve fino y fallé muchas lineas que me hicieron perder mucho tiempo. Al final 4º en ambas categorías. Sin duda habrá que volver el año que viene mejor preparado.</span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With dam releases being on certain days the locals have sue advantage on that river, I managed to learn the lines pretty quick but there are many tricks and little rocks that are hard to master. Race day came and unfortunately I didn't paddled my best, I had to roll once and lost a bunch of time in the slides. I then did short boat and that didn't work too well, it was hard to adapt and that was my second short boat run ever… I lost some time here and there and got stuck on the slides again… at the end I came 4th on both classes but some good seconds from the firsts spots. </span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway I'm happy I made it and got to discover the south east kayaking community over there and experience the Green race, famous for being one of the oldest racing events in kayaking history. I hope I'll be back next year for more and improve some lines down the Green. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Congrats to Pat Keller for throwing down an amazing long boat run taking first place!

BC ha sido increíble, trabajando un poco con el rafting y remando mucho en los ríos de al lado; Cheakamus, Callaghan, Ashlu, Fear Canyon… y muchos más a los que no pude ir… Aquí están las fotos de este verano remando por Whistler-Squamish con muy buenos amigos!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f4f5f7; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: start;">Este es un pequeño vídeo que he hecho de la nueva Pyranha Burn III. Tuve la oportunidad de probarla en el tramo de la Sick-Line en Áustria y en el Noguera en Sort. Las sensaciones dentro del agua fueron muy buenas, el kayak es muy rápido y es muy fácil de manejar/mantener en la línea, su casco hace que sea muy rápido a la ora de girar/maniobrar y sus cantos hacen que sea muy precioso en líneas estrechas o haciendo contras y chicanes, no derrapa nada! Estoy muy contento con este kayak y espero tener la L muy pronto!!</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watching the wave build up and form is amazing, it goes from nothing to one of the most perfect waves in the world, and the scenery is amazing.

We all had great time sharing the wave and watching each other. After the long afternoon and evening spent at the wave we would cook a big meal and pass out, so good!</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El primer sitio donde la probé fue en Rattlesnake en el White Salmon en Washington. Una ola pequeña y con mucha espuma, sin embargo quedé sorprendido de la velocidad y rapidez del kayak así como la facilidad para empezar maniobras como el clean blunt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Llegó la hora de remar en rulo, en los Payette River Games en Idaho, y aunque no pude remar mucho ya que estaba enfermo las pocas sesiones en el agua fueron muy buenas. El kayak se mueve muy bien en el rulo y figuras como el lunar orbit, tricky, puntas… salen mucho más fácil y mejor que con cualquier otro kayak.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La Jed fue diseñada por Robert Peerson junto con el equipo de diseñadores de Pyranha y ayuda de todo el Team. Robert era antiguo diseñador para Wave Sport y diseñó grandes modelos como la Project, Project X o la Habitat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Empecé a remar freestyle con la Pyranha S6, la que fue la piragua de referencia de la época. Esta evolucionó con la S6x y la S6f, y después llegó la 4Twenty con la que remé varios años. Siguiendo a esta diseñaron la Rev. Todas estas piraguas tenías unas líneas similares y seguían los mismos principios de diseño. El siguiente modelo fue la Molan, con un estilo de kayak ya diferente y desmarcado de las líneas de la 4Twenty y Rev, y finalmente llegó la Jed. SIn duda alguna la Jed es el mejor kayak de freestyle de Pyranha y ahora mismo es de los mejores sino el mejor playboat del mercado.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En el rulo o en agua plana la Jed es el kayak más fácil de rotar gracias a sus puntas afiladas y distribución de volumen, lo que nos permite hacer tricky woos, superclean cartwheels y demás sin mucho esfuerzo. A la hora de hacer loops tanto la punta como la cola nos ayudan a pinchar y a pasar el loop a la hora de plancharlo, y el volumen en el centro del kayak y rodillas nos permite coger mucho aire. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Pyranha nos ha sorprendió el verano pasado con la Jed en carbono, y este año ya la hemos podido ver en las diferentes competiciones y eventos. La construcción y diseño de la piragua son increíbles, realmente han echo un gran </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">trabajo. La versión full carbon tan solo pesa 7kg, y es de las mas sólida, duras y resistentes que he visto! Tuve la oportunidad de probarla por un par de entradas en Skook y la verdad es que es increíble! Muy rápida, muy ligera y transmite las mejores sensaciones. Es un placer navegar con un kayak así de ligero y cómodo! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">En definitiva creo que la Jed es una gran piragua, muy fácil de utilizar con la que podremos aprender y progresar de forma rápida y que además nos permitirá seguir avanzando y evolucionando ya que permite todo tipo de trucos mejor que cualquier otra piragua que haya probado antes. Así que muy contento al poder remar con este kayak cada día!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El río Callaghan tiene agua toda la primavera y buena parte del verano, lo que lo hace unos de los mejores clásicos gracias a su proximidad y a la gran calidad de sus rápidos, incluyendo dos cascadas de 15 y 20 pies una detrás de la otra!</span></div>

We had a good start but didn't managed to stay together all the time what made us a bit slower than we could. Anyway we had a good run and managed to win the race which was good!

After a couple U turns we found it, a really nice looking green wave with foam on top.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sin nada de sombra alrededor y a más de 30ºC nos metimos al agua cuanto antes. La ola era más complicada de lo que parecía, y más después de tanto timo sin remar un kayak de rodeo, pero muy divertido. Al cabo de unos cuantos rides lo cosa empezó a mejorar y empecé a entender la ola y el nuevo kayak.</span></div>

Súper rápida en la ola y con buenos cantos hace que se mueva muy bien, además el casco el casco desliza muy bien haciendo todos los trucos más fáciles. Los clean blunts son muy fáciles de tirar y sobretodo de planchar, muy buenas sensaciones con este kayak!!</span></div>

<i>After some years working on it the park looks beautiful and green and makes this quiet stretch of river a lot more enjoyable. The top feature is world class, with a green right shoulder that allows for almost every wave trick and a nice and deep foam pile on surfer's left where you can throw every hole move, combos and everything! Pretty good playspot, with big eddies, warm water and the nice park all around. </i><br />

Las prelims de freestyle empezaron el viernes en el top feature. Muy buen rulo ola en el que todos los trucos eran posibles (si los sabes hacer claro!). Estando enfermo toda la semana anterior al evento no tuve oportunidad de entrenar en el rulo aparte de un par de mangas el jueves por la tarde… aun así conseguí hacer una buena manga que me permitió pasar a semis en 9a posición. No me lo esperaba ya que no remaba nada de rodeo desde el año pasado y aun estaba bastante enfermo y débil.</div>

El sábado se presentaba largo y cansado con el sprint, boaterX y las semis dels freestyle. El sprint consistía en una milla y media de agua plana hasta Kelly's, unos 11 minutos a tope, muy cansado. Por suerte conseguí el mejore tiempo en el sprint Después hicimos el boaterX en el que gané las dos primeras mangas pero en la última me lo pusieron difícil entre los otros tres y al fina quedé fuera… Finalmente las semis de freestyle en las que hice una buena primera manga pero tan solo aprovechando 30 de los 60 segundos así que finalmente acabé 8º. A gusto con le resultado ya que esta era casi mi primera vez remando freestyle este año y no había podido entrenar nada en el spot. </div>

<i>Saturday was time for the Sprint, Boater X and Freestyle semis, a busy long day! We did a 1.5 mile sprint from northern Cascade to the WW Park, about 11 minutes of pure flat water, it was pretty exhausting! Luckily I managed to win this one and went on with the BoaterX. I managed to win my first two heats as well, but on my third and final heat I got smashed against some rocks and couldn't catch up… it's boaterX. Freestyle semis went ok with a couple bad rides I jumped into 8th, but anyway that wasn't my focus… still pleased with the result for my first freestyle sessions of the year.</i></div>
