Spring in Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite seasons. Snow still blankets the mountains of the Sierras, and the lower elevation rivers rise as the days grow longer and warmer. It is this time of year that I find myself having to make the difficult decision of skiing vs kayaking.
As I prepare for an […]
This is some footage from this past summer that I had sitting around, and being the type of person that does not like to waste anything, I decided to slap together a quick video. The main point to it is - the video is of a friend of mine, Brad Brewer, who I met in college at Clemson […]

Bryan Smith from The Range Life and Reel Water Production produced a fantastic video that focuses on the controversy surrounding the damming of the Ashlu in British Columbia. If you care at all about rivers, conservation, and the policies surrounding our public lands it is well worth watching.
