Media: Whitewater Paddleboarding on the Travel Channel!

This past Summer (2017) the owner of Mountain River Guides (and my boss), Matt Moses, invited a few local whitewater SUP badasses to perform for a camera crew from the Travel Channel. It was an all-day-marathon-blast in the Nolichucky Gorge!

Two teaser edits have been released - with the promise of a longer edit on the broadcast version of the Travel Channel.

Riding a Wheelie on Whitewater

Inviting the energy of a river current onto the tail of the board is one of my favorite things to do. Once I dial-in the balance and control points for a particular board there is an amazing sensation. A delicate weightlessness as the board joins with the flow. All you have to do is maintain posture and balance and work with the currents.
