Wir müssen bei einer Parkbucht etwa 100 Meter unter der Touristenattraktion zum Hinterrhein absteigen. Der Weg führt querfeldein über Geröll hinunter zum Bach. Man muss extrem aufpassen, um nicht mit einer losen Steinplatte den Weg nach unten zu beenden, für die meisten war das der härteste Teil der Befahrung. <span id="more-9807"></span><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/002-flo-hartmann-kajak1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9818" title="Viamala Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/002-flo-hartmann-kajak1-300x168.jpg" alt="Viamala Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a>Die ersten paar Meter auf dem Flussabschnitt gestalten sich einfach, sind dafür aber in einer beeindruckenden Schlucht und sind perfekt zum warmpaddeln. Doch ab dem Kraftwerk über dessen Mauer man rutschen kann nimmt die Schwierigkeit deutlich zu. Es bleibt jedoch beim fairen Drop and Pool Charakter. Im Mittelteil der Strecke gilt es einige Höhenmeter abzubauen. Nach einigen kleineren Stufen kommt man zum höchsten Fall einer fünf Meter Stufe, die gebooft werden will es aber auch perfekt ermöglicht. Es kommen weitere Stufen bevor man die Umtrage erreicht. Auf dem ersten Blick sieht die Stelle nach einer weiteren Stufe aus, betrachtet man sie jedoch genauer wird einem schnell bewusst, dass das Umtragen die bessere Alternative ist. Fast das gesamte Wasser drückt es unter einen haushohen Felsblock.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/001-viamala-schlucht-kajak.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9817" title="Viamala Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/001-viamala-schlucht-kajak-300x168.jpg" alt="Viamala Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a>Das umtragen selbst wird durch einen kleinen Bouldergarten erschwert. Sobald alle wieder im Kajak sitzen geht’s weiter Richtung Ausstieg. Noch ein paar kleine Stellen und wir sind am Kraftwerk angekommen und unsere Kajaks über ein kurzen Weg hinaufgetragen und schon wird das erste Bier vor der zweiten Befahrung geöffnet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Die Roffla Schlucht<br /> </b>Die Roffla Schlucht ist ebenfalls, wie die Viamala Schlucht, eine Attraktion für Touristen.  Am Ausstieg befindet sich ein historisches Gasthaus. Von dort aus ist es möglich durch eine Felsgallerie bis hinauf zum letzten Wasserfall und dahinter durch zu laufen. Am Einstieg packen wir erstmal gemütlich unsere Boote zusammen. Jeder checkt nochmal ob er auch alles dabei hat. Bandschlingen, Wurfsack, Ersatzpaddel, usw. Schon die erste Stelle ist eine schöne Rutsche mit großem Rücklauf. Falls man die Anfahrt verschlampt hängt man drin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/003-rofla-schlucht-kajak.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9819" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/003-rofla-schlucht-kajak-300x168.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a>Es kommen einige technisch schöne Stellen bis man dann in die eigentliche Roffla Schlucht gelangt. Wir können, Dank Lukas guter Erklärungen das meiste auf Sicht fahren und sparen uns dadurch viel Zeit. Die Schwierigkeit ist gegenüber der Viamala Schlucht deutlich höher, auch die Katarakte sind länger und komplexer.</p><div id="attachment_9822" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/006-philipp-much-kajak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9822" title="Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/006-philipp-much-kajak-300x200.jpg" alt="Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht</p></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Nach zweidrittel der Strecke kommen wir an unsere erste Umtrage.  Ab hier haben wir den einfacheren und Teil der Roffla Schlucht geschafft, und es wird nochmals etwas schwieriger. Auch das verlassen der Schlucht wäre hier eine gute Klettertour. Der Einstieg nach der Umtrage ist anspruchsvoll. Nach einem Alpinstart aus drei Metern sollte man möglichst schnell in die Mitte des Flusses kommen, sonst landet man in einem unangenehmen Steinverhau.  Es bleibt kaum eine Pause, der Schwierigkeitsgrad bleibt konstant am oberen Level und verlangt uns einiges ab. <a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/005-rofla-schlucht-anton-lehner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9821" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/005-rofla-schlucht-anton-lehner-300x200.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="200" /></a>Nach einer weiteren Umtrage kommen wir dann an den 10 Meter Fall. Man kann sich nur die Anfahrt der Eingangsstufen ansehen. Es sind zwei Stufen, die erste etwas verblockt und steckgefährlich, diese geht dirkt in die zweite eine 5 Meter Stufe aus deren Pool der Wasserfall abfließt. Hier gibt es kein zurück mehr. Auf Lukas Anweißung hin, fahren wir  den Fall auf der linken Seite an. Noch ein, zwei Korrekturschläge und dann schnell einrollen und im Pool auftauchen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/007-wildwasser-kajak-schweiz.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9823" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/007-wildwasser-kajak-schweiz-200x300.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="200" height="300" /></a>Da es schon spät ist beeilen wir uns um schnell an den Ausstieg zu gelangen. Ein paar unbesichtigbare Stellen weiter kommen wir nun zur aufwändigen Umtrage. Wir müssen uns etwa 15 Meter abseilen. Bis alles zum abseilen aufgebaut, alle Kajaks und Leute abgeseilt  sind, vergeht auch wieder einiges an Zeit. Nun sind es nur noch kleinere Stellen und wir sind am Austieg angekommen.</p><p><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/004-bootie-beer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9820" title="Bootie Beer" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/004-bootie-beer-300x168.jpg" alt="Bootie Beer" width="300" height="168" /></a>Trotz 3 Schwimmern und zwei gebrochenen Paddeln ist es für uns einer der schönsten Flussabschnitte die wir jemals gepaddelt sind. Ein Fluss der so viele  Höhenmeter, mit so klar definierten Stellen abbaut findet man leider nur selten in den Alpen.<br /> <a name="video"></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/kajak-roffla-schlucht"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p><p><a name="english-text"></a></p><hr /><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Viamala Gorge<br /> </b>The Viamala Gorge is one of the most impressive gorge in the switzerland. A web leads tourists to the narrowest part of the Viamala Gorge.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/002-flo-hartmann-kajak1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9818" title="Viamala Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/002-flo-hartmann-kajak1-300x168.jpg" alt="Viamala Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a>It´s forbidden to put in there with the kayak.. Thus we have to find a other way to put in. 100 meter down of the tourist attraction we found a small and steep trail to the river. We must be carefull because the stones are doose and slippery. For somebody is this the hardest part of the Viamala.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/001-viamala-schlucht-kajak.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9817" title="Viamala Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/001-viamala-schlucht-kajak-300x168.jpg" alt="Viamala Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a>The first meters in the gorge are easy, perfect for warm-up. At the end of the gorge we come to a powerstation. Now, the harder part beginns. With the drop and pool character, everythings remains fair. In the middle part we have to break down quit a bit of height meters. After some smaller cataracts we come to the highest drop of the Viamala, a five meter drop, you have to boof it. Some cataracts behind the drop we have to do one portage. At the first moment, the portage looks easy to run put the mostly water flows under the rocks. So we decided to portage. A bouldergarden make the portage more difficult than normal. We have to run  some smaller rapids before we arrived the put out. We shoulder the kayaks and went to the car. A fast beer and the second run will be opened.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Roffla Gorge<br /> </b><span style="text-align: justify;">The Roffla Gorge is same as the Viamala a attraction for tourists. On the put out is a historical inn. From the inn it is possible to walk trough a rock gallery to the waterfall. On the put in we take the kayaks from the car. Everbody check up his gear, throwbag, rescue equipment and spare paddle because if your in the gorge it´s hard to get out. </span></p><p><a style="font-style: normal; line-height: 24px; text-decoration: underline; text-align: justify;" href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/003-rofla-schlucht-kajak.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9819" style="border-color: #bbbbbb; margin-top: 0.4em; background-color: #eeeeee;" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/003-rofla-schlucht-kajak-300x168.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="168" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The first drop is a nice slide with a big hole in the end. If you make the stroke for the boof to late or to early you have to swim. After some rapids we reach the gorge. Lukas Wielatt knew the lines so we ran most of the gorge on annoucement.</span></p><div id="attachment_9822" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/006-philipp-much-kajak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9822" title="Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/006-philipp-much-kajak-300x200.jpg" alt="Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Philipp Much in der Rofla Schlucht</p></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Thus we can some valuable time. The deegre of difficultly is higher than in the Viamala. The cataracta are longer and  more complex.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/005-rofla-schlucht-anton-lehner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9821" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/005-rofla-schlucht-anton-lehner-300x200.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="300" height="200" /></a>After two thirds of the Roffla we rech the first portage. At this point we made the easier part. Now it is once more difficult and to get out of the gorge will be a hard climbing tour. The put n after the portage is not realy easy. You have to do a seal launch of three meters into a fast cataract. Make some strong paddle strokes into the middle, because if you stay on the right side you landing in sharp stones. After a second portage we come to the 10 meter high drop. You can take only a view to the first of the two drops in the front of the waterfall.. The waterfall you have to do blind.. You have to paddle around a boulder of the first dropinto the second 5 metzer high drop. Now you have to challenge the waterfall. One or two paddle strokes to correct the position of the kayak, roll up and be happy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/007-wildwasser-kajak-schweiz.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9823" title="Rofla Schlucht" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/007-wildwasser-kajak-schweiz-200x300.jpg" alt="Rofla Schlucht" width="200" height="300" /></a>Now we have to hurry up, it´s late and we have to do a hard portage. We have todo 15 meters abseiling. We need a lot of time for all people and kayaks, put now we finish it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/004-bootie-beer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9820" title="Bootie Beer" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/004-bootie-beer-300x168.jpg" alt="Bootie Beer" width="300" height="168" /></a>Three swims, two broken paddles but definitively one of the best rivers in the alps.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/kajak-roffla-schlucht/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Brush Creek 2012 for RG</title><link>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/brush-2012-for-rg</link> <comments>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/brush-2012-for-rg#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Apr 2012 03:24:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Shon Bollock</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Competition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Creeking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bomb Flow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bomb Flow Magazine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brush Creek]]></category> <category><![CDATA[California]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Five Ten]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GoPro]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Liquidlogic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Remix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RG]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sanuk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shasta Boyz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shon Bollock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Slippery When Wet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Werner Paddles]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/?p=9786</guid> <description><![CDATA[My life has been chaos as usual rolling into midterms but last weekend was the Brush Creek race outside Kernville, CA.

All of us choose what feelings play what roles in the actions we are a part of. What exactly makes a choice right or wrong&#8230;that is up to you. I believe that positivity is different for every person. Curtain things I think of as positive, others may find offensive or completely wrong. I have been doing some thinking about what it takes to be a full time kayaker and at the same time, a positive member of society. In my past I have been on the edge of what most people would think of as a responsible and reasonable person&#8230;but I think that plays a part in being the man I am today.<span id="more-9754"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kayaking has taken me to some wild places and confronted me with many challenges. What I&#8217;ve began to realize is more of those obstacles are off the river, not on. I love kayaking far to much to consider a hard rapid or a tiring portage a challenge. That&#8217;s my life and what I dream about all day, so it&#8217;s not a task, rather an opportunity. The challenges come in when I mix my insanely powerful passion for the sport into my everyday life with the outside world. Interacting with people who don&#8217;t have a clue what I do or don&#8217;t give a rats ass about it, can make simple things difficult. I have been so intertwined in the kayak world and lifestyle for so long now that when I step out, I am challenged to be a happy and positive person.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> What does this mean?&#8230; Leave planet earth and go to Boofenland? I wish, but that&#8217;s not option. None of us are making much money in the sport. The longer I commit to being a whitewater athlete, the less time I have to start a career or find a real job. This is where I have to gather my feelings and make choices that will not only benefit me in the present moment, but also the future. Does this mean I&#8217;m going to quit kayaking to go make lots of money&#8230;NEVER! I am just trying to find a balance in my life and some sort of exterior stability or like Tupac said, &#8220;A Thug&#8217;s Mansion&#8221; where I can go once my life becomes less &#8220;BROWN&#8221;!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> I want to be a kayaker forever&#8230;I can foresee myself running the White Salmon, North Fork Payette, Futaleufu, and Cherry Creek for decades to come. It&#8217;s truly the love of my life. With how hard we are going these days decision making skills are almost as important as the paddling skills. I have to be in it for the right reasons. Personal goals and Fun! These days I&#8217;m trying to make money kayaking, but I really don&#8217;t want to turn boating into a &#8220;JOB&#8221;. I want to do what I do, because I know I can stick it, and I am going to have a hell of a time doing it. That doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m not going to take risks and maybe hurt myself on the path I choose. All that means is I&#8217;m going to do my best to leave my ego behind and boat as hard as I can for all the right reasons.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So I know it&#8217;s 2012 and none of this is going to matter when the world ends on the 21st of December, but this is something for everyone to think about. Kayaking is a full on ego driven sport, and I am a part of the game. I love how it works, when I see something big or amazing happen, it pushes me to go out and do the same. I want to draw my line where I stop going out and pushing myself for fun and rather for a pro-status or bragging rights. I make movies about kayaking hard whitewater, but I boat 100% with my heart and soul, I suggest doing the same. It truly is my religion&#8230;Church!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some shots I just edited and want to put up!</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 277px"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yM6dN-O-kxI/T4-3ofOc_JI/AAAAAAAAEzw/k5pwP7up2tM/s400/Baby+Bird+Bites.jpg"><img style="border: 0px;" title="Ryan &quot;Baby Bird&quot; Lucas enjoying the friendly mosquitos of the Californian highlands" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yM6dN-O-kxI/T4-3ofOc_JI/AAAAAAAAEzw/k5pwP7up2tM/s400/Baby+Bird+Bites.jpg" alt="Ryan &quot;Baby Bird&quot; Lucas enjoying the friendly mosquitos of the Californian highlands" width="267" height="400" border="0" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ryan &quot;Baby Bird&quot; Lucas enjoying the friendly mosquitos of the Californian highlands</p></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-vk7IKgpnc/T4-3o0kIRuI/AAAAAAAAEz8/GaVi_z4FVwo/s400/Ben+Marr+20+Royal+Gorge.jpg"><img style="border: 0px;" title="Ben Marr running one of the best drop of the North Fork of the American, California." src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-vk7IKgpnc/T4-3o0kIRuI/AAAAAAAAEz8/GaVi_z4FVwo/s400/Ben+Marr+20+Royal+Gorge.jpg" alt="Ben Marr running one of the best drop of the North Fork of the American, California." width="400" height="267" border="0" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ben Marr running one of the best drop of the North Fork of the American, California.</p></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nGXTkDbwPLc/T4-3pcuYbGI/AAAAAAAAE0I/wB5ftYV9Ics/s400/Evan+Bonito+Sequence.jpg"><img style="border: 0px;" title="A sequence shot of my 2012 line of Cascada Bonito in Argentina." src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nGXTkDbwPLc/T4-3pcuYbGI/AAAAAAAAE0I/wB5ftYV9Ics/s400/Evan+Bonito+Sequence.jpg" alt="A sequence shot of my 2012 line of Cascada Bonito in Argentina." width="400" height="267" border="0" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A sequence shot of my 2012 line of Cascada Bonito in Argentina.</p></div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 277px"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Fkx5Phbdic/T4-3pjaMpiI/AAAAAAAAE0U/u2WVaS2LS5w/s400/Evan+Garcia+Rio+Nevado%252C+Chile+Photo+Lj+Groth+copy.jpg"><img style="border: 0px;" title="Throwing the ever so awesome &quot;brown&quot; off one of the best boofs in the world.

Sie waren allgegenwärtig. In Kajakzeitschriften, in Kalendern und auf Postern. Kalifornien wurde spekuliert. Portugal wurde diagnostiziert. Drei saubere Wasserfälle mit beachtlicher Höhe in sauberem Grundgestein und das nur ca. 30 Autostunden von der Mitte Deutschlands entfernt? Grund genug, diese Bilder nicht mehr aus dem Kopf zu bekommen. Und so musste der kleine Matthias schlaflose Nächte verbringen und viele Stunden wach liegen um dann 2008 endlich das erste Mal mit seinen Freunden am oberen Einstieg des Castro Laboreiro zu stehen. Doch so einfach machte es ihm der Laborairo nicht: Der Bach war so trocken wie Omas Sandkuchen und auch heftiges Weinen am Oberlauf brachte kaum ausreichend Flüssigkeit in das Flussbett.<span id="more-9536"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/001-portugal-urlaub.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9617" title="001-portugal-urlaub" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/001-portugal-urlaub-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2009 der zweite Versuch: Der Pegel sah ganz passabel aus, weniger allerdings der Ölverlust des Bullis. Der verreckte nämlich am Einstieg und vermasselte den Jungs beim zweiten Anlauf die Tour. Ärgerlich! Und zwar so ärgerlich, dass Matthias nie wieder nach Portugal wollte &#8230; Doch 2010 war es dann wieder so weit. Matthias hatte wieder schlaflose Nächte. Die Bilder des Castro brannten sich in die Träume ein. Also wurde wieder geplant. Freunde wurden für den Plan begeistert, wieder waren Till und Picco von der <a title="Link zu Essener Kanuschule" href="http://www.kanuschule.de/">Essener Kanuschule</a> am Start, aber auch  Micha, Ise und Christian von der <a title="Link zur Kanuschule Outdoordirekt" href="http://www.outdoordirekt.de/">Outdoordirekt-Kanuschule</a> wurden an Silvester mit Rotkäppchen abgefüllt und von der Teilnahme überzeugt. Auch Dany Frenzl war schnell von der Idee begeistert &#8230;<br /> »Wir brauchen auf jeden Fall zwei Autos«, so Matthias. »Damit uns dat egal is, wenn wieder eine Karre am Einstieg explodiert, bevor wir den Castro wegverhaftet haben.« Gesagt getan. Ende Februar war es nun endlich so weit: Die Karren waren gepackt und es konnte losgehen.

Doch wir trotzten diesen düsteren Aussichten und machten uns im strömenden Regen auf die Bahn. Nach 32 Stunden erreichten wir Santiago de Compostela in Galizien, von dort aus ging es zum Warmpaddeln auf den ersten Bach. Und was uns hier überraschte, war Wasser satt. Auch die nächsten Bäche waren voll bis oben hin. Da wir aber nicht wussten, wie viel Wasser der Castro Laboreiro wirklich benötigen würde, machten wir uns schleunigst zum Einstieg auf, um den Pegel zu checken. Und was sahen wir da? Es war zu viel im Bach. Und zwar deutlich. Aber die Autos fuhren noch. Also weg vom Castro Laboreiro und erstmal noch ein paar andere Bäche paddeln. Nach einigen Tagen ließ dann der Regen nach, die Sonne übernahm die Kontrolle über den portugiesischen Himmel und die Pegel fielen. Also wieder zum Castro. Und jetzt stimmte auch der Pegel.</p><div id="attachment_9623" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/007-rio-vez-kajak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9623" title="Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/007-rio-vez-kajak-300x199.jpg" alt="Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez</p></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Eine weitere schlaflose Nacht stand bevor, dann ging es auf den Bach, der das Leben des Matthias in den letzen Jahren so arg beeinflusste.</p><div id="attachment_9626" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/010-castro-laboreiro-kajak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9626" title="Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/010-castro-laboreiro-kajak-200x300.jpg" alt="Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler</p></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Fieses Wildwasser im vierten und fünften Grad erwartete die Freunde.

In every kayak-magazine, in every calendar and even in the playboy. Three clean waterfalls in an awesome surrounding. But where are they? In California? Corsica? No! You can find them on the west-edge of Europe, in a small country, nearly unknown for whitewater-kayakers – in Portugal.<br /> Surrounded by Spain, small Portugal always stood in the shadow of its tall neighbor. More and more paddlers visited Galicia (northern Spain), but only a few paddlers crossed the border to check out the rivers of Portugal. But they found what paddlers all over the world are searching for &#8211; three beautiful, clean waterfalls on a small river called “castro laborairo”.<br /> However, little Mathieux saw the falls on the pictures and immediately he was on fire. In the year 2008 he took his boat, his stuff and also some friends and began his long journey to the Castro Laborairo. But after 3200 kilometers he reaches a very dry river. “It´s been the driest winter in Portugal since decandes” said the old man with his house near to the castro-river. Mathieux had to go home&#8230;<br /> Second Try. In February 2009 Mathieux took the same friends for the trip, but another bus &#8211; a very old bus. After 2000 kilometers the oil of the bus was boiling. With the last power they reached Portugal, but the way up to the river was too much for the old car – mission failed and Mathieux decided not to visit beautiful Portugal again – “not in my life”!<br /> 2011: “We need two cars, al lot of spare-boats, spare friends and we have to pray to the god of rain”. With a huge window of time to catch the right waterlevel Mathieux and his hundert friends in twenty cars started to castro-mission number three. But when Mathieux arrived at Castro Laborairo there was too much water in the small creek. Kayaking impossible!<br /> Kayaking impossible because of heavy rain and cumecs of water in the rivers? Not really. The friends decided to check some other rivers and came back to Laborairo in a few days.<br /> A few days later, after tons of sun and clear blue sky, the Laborairo had the perfect level for Mathieux and his friend. No broken car, only one broken boat and one broken finger was the result of the third try to paddle the Laborairo – mission complete!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mexico Kayaking 2011</title><link>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/mexico-kayaking-2011</link> <comments>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/mexico-kayaking-2011#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:48:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Mathias Eibre Fossum</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Creeking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Alseseca River]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jefe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mathias Fossum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[South America]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tomata]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Veracruz]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/?p=9568</guid> <description><![CDATA[Mexico kayaking!

My journey from the North- to South America this fall continues to Mexico.<br /> After 6 weeks in British Columbia, we packed Jules’ car and started a long drive from Whistler thru USA towards Veracruz, Mexico (5500 km). I had been a couple of days in the States with Evan and Fred before, but I was pretty stoked to spend some more days in “the country of opportunities” and maybe do some boatin on the way!</p><p><span id="more-9568"></span></p><p>As it turned out the water levels were too low on the northwest coast, we scouted drops like Metlako and Punchbowl, but it was not even close, so we decided to drove along the west coast and stop at famous places like San Fransisco, LA, etc.</p><p>After some days driving thru US we entered the country of tortillas, sombreros and tequila. They didn’t even ask for our passports at the border, so we didn’t really know what to expect from this country. However, we drove like 700 km south in Mexico before the police stopped us and asked for our Visa and drivers permission. What, how, where? We didn’t know a thing about those issues but we were soon to find out that we didn’t have much of a choice. We had to drive the 700 km back to the border and get ourselves the right papers for the passport and the car. To get the Visa was no problem, but on getting the drivers permission we failed pretty hard since we couldn’t find the ticket for the car. A bribe or two didn’t help, we couldn’t drive our car in Mexico!  After a couple of hours at the border not knowing what to do, the only option we came up with was selling the car and take the 46 hour bus ride to Veracruz. So it was!</p><div id="attachment_9573" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/101.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9573  " title="The Mexico-Crew posing after a session on Tomata I: Juanito, Lachie Carracher, Jules Domine, Daniel Rondon, myself, Aniol Serrasolses, Aniols sister and Tino Specht!" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/101-300x199.jpg" alt="The Mexico-Crew posing after a session on Tomata I: Juanito, Lachie Carracher, Jules Domine, Daniel Rondon, myself, Aniol Serrasolses, Aniols sister and Tino Specht!" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Mexico-Crew posing after a session on Tomata I: Juanito, Lachie Carracher, Jules Domine, Daniel Rondon, myself, Aniol Serrasolses, Aniols sister and Tino Specht!</p></div><p>When we finally made it to our final destination Tlapacoyan in Veracruz state, things turned out so well.
