“I spent the first week of January working for Cascade Kayak School during their trip to Chile. There were nine kids coming down to Pucon, Chile to have fun and kayak as much as possbile. After a day spent on the Liucura we packed a truck, van and trailer with all are boats and gear to go to Pichilemu. We spent two days in Pichilemu kayak surfing and enjoying the beach experience. The waves were pretty big; there were some cool rides, as well as beatdowns to be seen.
After two days in Pichilemu we packed all our stuff again, and went to paddle the rivers around Los Quenes. The weather and river levels were perfect!
The last day of the road trip was dedicated to the infamous Siete Tasaz section of the Rio Claroa. The short but steep hike was a mission by itself with a group of this size, but we didn’t have any problems. The run was well worth the hike. Everyone styled the super clean drops of the Rio Claroa
Back in Pucon I spent a couple more days coaching and paddling with the group on the Trancura River. It was cool to see the kids super fired up and getting into paddling like they did. I had a great time, and hope to see them on the water around the world soon.
