The Mackenzie Mission

Jordan on point at Sahalie
I was awakened by the dingaling of my phone. It was cold, way too cold for a late May morning in Oregon. Along with the gentle pittering of rain on the roof of the truck, I could hear Hunt Jennings’s Malamute puppy attempting to wake his owner whom lie dormant in a nearby tent. I checked to see what my phone was bugging me about; It was Galen Volckhausen, and the text read “Meet at tits deep at 9”. It was already 8, so I emerged from the bed of the truck and went to wake Hunt. Though motivation was nearly nonexistent we managed to get ourselves on the road to the Tits Deep Mansion to pick up Galen. From there we drove through rain, snow, more rain, and more snow to make it to the river that each of us had been nervously dreaming of during the past week.

Liquidlogic Stinger goes into production

Liquidlogic Stinger

Well we built out the first production Liquidlogic Stinger out of the aluminum mold and I just had to go get a run in. Its been 5 years in the making. It felt great to be in a production boat. Stiffer, better outfitting, silky smooth shell, bomber security bars, etc.. it just felt fantastic and paddled great. Here is to many more runs in the future.
