Ryan Hunt: Second Descent of the Rataroa River - Kaimai Gold
http://ryankayaker.blogspot.com/2010/05/second-descent-of-rataroa-river-kaimai.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. Second Descent of the Rataroa River - Kaimai Gold. Kaimais turn it up again, seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. This run was done once years back and was thought to be a bit of a mank fest so was never gone back into, turns out it is nothing like that. Check the vid out. Also keep an eye out for some more Kaimai gold, got some possible first d's on the line up as soon as it rains! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Second Descent of the Rataroa River - Kaimai Gold.

Chasing Water: June 2010
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Monday, June 14, 2010. The last week in Cali has been the best of our trip so far. We started off with a sick day in the Arches national park in Utah on our way home from Vail, then we had a pool party at a mates place. We then got a little lap on the Slab creek section of the South fork American river - a cool little 4-5 mission. The crew scouting east meets west. I pretty much got to live out a life dream - ride beh...

Chasing Water: September 2010
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Sunday, September 19, 2010. Over the last few seasons the crew from up here have slowly been ticking off the creeks which run off the eastern side of the Kaimai ranges in Tauranga. The established classics like the Tuakopai and the Mangakarengorengo have turned into after work/school bomb runs and people have been looking further north for adventures into seldom or unrun drainages. After all the usual stops (bakery, n...

Chasing Water: Italia
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2012/06/italia.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Sunday, June 3, 2012. So I left the mighty US of A and got hit with a $400 charge to get my boat on the plane which wasn't ideal but never mind. I found B, Soph and Severin at the arrivals with minimal fuss and we were off to the Sesia river festival in Val Sesia (Val means Valley in case you were wondering.). B partaking in the standard Italian breakfast. There are a couple of tiny stores which sell amazing local pro...

Chasing Water: July 2011
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Sunday, July 24, 2011. Right here we go. After a nice long R and D period, Bliss Stick have got their new creek boat - the Tuna to almost production stage. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the first one out as a demo boat and have been paddling it for ten days or so now so I thought I'd share some thoughts on how she goes (for the overseas contingent). She's long - and fast. Side on - pretty low profile. If any o...

Chasing Water: October 2011
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Running the left boof that we've always looked at on B's rapid. (It must be noted that this was not intentional and I was pretty well peaking right here). Mr Brown took himself out of the game early on (on the same rapid as above) grating a couple of his fingers down to the joints and slightly modifying his face as well. Still plenty of water around so we'll see what happens tomorrow. We tea...

Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. 8220;Porso avere uno café Americano e’ latte per favore? 8221; “Can I please have an Americano coffee with some milk? 8221; This is basically the extent of my Italiano. For everything else I fall back on the tried and true method of pointing, miming and holding up fingers. Then at the end “Grazie, ciao”. Pretty much fluent right? My favourite cafe in Ivrea. Turns out Italians stare. Meant to ...

Chasing Water: August 2011
http://chasingwater.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Whether it's flat, moving, white or frozen, this is what I seem to spend my life doing. Sunday, August 14, 2011. While I'm writing just now, I'm sitting in a house in Christchurch having just missed my flight back to Rotorua. Why you ask? The reason we were in Queenstown was actually due to us being in Wanaka for the week prior for a little event which I've been to for the last few years called the Burton Open. It's an excuse for me to A: Get off real work for a week, and B: ha. I also recently acquired ...
