Catching up with me!

Since Slovenia I haven't written a single blog post...my bad. I will do my best to catch up with everything right now.

After Slovenia I continued kayaking the Loisach almost everyday with one small break to check out a new river, Breitach in the Allgau which ended up being a very good time and worthy of another run when the water levels get back up again. Here's a small edit from that trip...

After Breitach the Loisach and the area all around Garmisch flooded so the Upper Loisach starting in Ehrwald was running in full force so we hit that up for two runs. Here's an edit with the flows at around 150. The last drop is the highlight of the run but rolling to get under bridges will not be forgotten.


After the flooding the weather cleared up and we had an awesome Saturday at My friend Jeremy's wedding in which I was the best man. The weather was about as good as it could get with some sun and some rain! Good times.




This last weekend I headed over to the Sanna, a river that I've been thinking of paddling for a while but have been to lazy or scared to try for a while. It turned out to be a fun run with some big holes. It was a different type of kayaking than I'm use to with a larger volume of water and large wave trains but fun nevertheless. I didn't have my go pro for this one but did get a shot of Quirin styling a hard rapid about a km from the Sanna put it. Pretty sick! Turn your head, sorry!


Now I'm back at home after just losing my license for the month because of a (hefty!) speeding ticket but hoping to be heading back to Slovenia with some friends for more good times this weekend if I can get the time off! We will see what happens but either way it will lead to paddling.
