Substantial Media House TV – Episode 3

Substantial Media House Episode 3In October, the Substantial Media House crew banded together once again. This time we had our sights set on a tropical destination. You boys like MEXICO? After landing in Mexico city we were greeted by good friends, cheap tacos, and cervezas. We then loaded up Rafa’s van and headed to the whitewater paradise of Tlapacoyan, Veracruz, Mexico. We paddled close to Tlapacoyan for a month, with a great trip to the Xico river. We paddled Big Banana, Truchas, Roadside, and Tomatas all sections of the Alseseca river. The upper and lower Rio Jalacingo also offered up some amazing paddling. After a month of amazing times, and quality agua blancas we returned home feeling Substantially stoked!

Substantial TV Episode #2 "BC EH"

So I know it has taken forever for us to edit and get this video up…BUT…It’s here!

I first ran the Grand Canyon of the Stikine in 2008. At the time I was the youngest paddler to ever paddle the Stikine. At 19 I was super nervous putting on, but my fear transformed into motivation and power once in the canyon. My favorite part about coming back was showing my good friends down the river and letting them experience such an amazing place and feel the power of the beast that is the Stikine!

It was an unforgettable trip…the kind of trip that you have in the back of your mind on those dark days…the picture hanging in your hall way when you’re old that brings you back to your youth…That kind of trip!

Thanks to all the people who helped us out on the trip and made it such an epic! Thanks to Liquidlogic kayaks for making the best freaking kayaks on the market, Sweet Protection for the incredible Gore-Tex dry wear and bomb proof helmets, Ninkasi Brewing for keeping us hydrated ;) and Voke Tab for keeping us fired up and on point! Enjoy the episode and help us share it with the res of the world.
