BRING ON THE SPRING RUN OFF

While driving home from work on a snowy evening I started day dreaming about training for a SUP downriver race this up coming season but the allure of SUPing my local run kept taking a hold of my mind.  That thought was too powerful for me to ignore.  To get familiar with what taught me the fundamentals of kayaking but only to do it this time standing up just made my heart race.  Slaughterhouse will start low and boney and potentially turn into a major flush over the course of a month or so.  Ha, ha, how I love spring runoff.  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.  Maybe I should get some padded tights to help out with this affair.

I still relish over a terribly exciting SUP session I did with Charlie MacArthur and Dan Gavere last spring runoff where I got hammered and swam a ton.  I remember watching Dan gear up before the walk up river and he was putting on motocross knee/shin guards with duct tape.  What the??  Oh, my god that is genius!!  I was envious in about two seconds and did not hesitate to ask if he had another pair.  From out of the depths of his van Dan pulled out another pair.  I was so stoked and it felt awesome strapping those things on.

NEW River SUP DVD!

RiverSUP is a revolutionary new DVD. This unique production is the first DVD to focus exclusively on the challenging and invigorating sport of stand-up paddling (SUP) on whitewater rivers.  Stand-up paddle surfing has burgeoned in popularity around the world and now a dedicated crew of Rocky Mountain river-rats have taken the sport from its roots at the ocean into an entirely new realm.

River stand-up pioneer Charlie MacArthur and Paul Tefft from EnviroAction Productions have teamed up with C4 Waterman to produce this cutting-edge DVD.  RiverSUP is multi-faceted - part instructional and part action/adventure entertainment.  Concise clips and accurate explanations take the aspiring SUP river paddler from the ins and outs of mellow river paddling to the advanced techniques of paddling class II & III rapids. Viewers will learn how to read rapids, peel in and out of the current, make dynamic eddy turns, perform river specific paddle techniques, and surf endless river waves.

RiverSUP also includes five bonus movies including a segment on the world’s first river stand up paddling championship and a scenic and exciting photo video adventure.

It's time to join the world’s most experienced river stand-up paddlers in this one-of-a-kind action and instruction adventure.
