The week before Christmas the temperatures rose and it rained a bit. So the forecast was promising. I tried to gather some motivated kayakers which wasn’t that easy to find a couple of days before Christmas Eve. Some had to go to work, others had exams at college and there even were those who don’t want to go kayaking if the temperatures are around the forties (°F = 5°C). Anywho I found at least one guy to join me, Philipp Much.

Review: GoPro Hero 2
If you are into action sports at all then you have heard of GoPro. I have had the pleasure of working with this company from almost the beginning, with 6 years as a sponsored athlete, I have watched the original GoPro Hero transform into the number 1 selling helmet camera in the world. In all honesty most of the kayakers that saw the first Hero were skeptical of its performance and design, but ohhhhh did GoPro shut them up with the release of the first 1080 HD Head Cam under $300.
Slippery When Wet: GoPro Reel
So life has finally mellowed out a little after a busy quarter of film school at UC Santa Cruz. I am on my way up to Mt. Shasta for the holidays and stoked to have a little time off. GoPro has been a pinnacle sponsor in the progression of Shasta Boyz and after almost of 6 years working together our relationship continues to grow. I have watched this company expand from 3 people to a multi national corporation in just a half decade. Impeccable customer service and an unbeatable product, GoPro continues to push the progression action sports videography into 2012.
Travelling in Tyrol
The Sickline Champs gathered all the folks in Oetz valley. Max and I took the chance to have all other Tyrolian rivers just for us. Some of the boys joined us and so we had a fabulous weekend with low volume creeks and some big water too. We started our tour on the waterfall fun section of Defereggenbach, which isn’t the longest stretch. It’s just 3 kilometers, but the drops makes it totally worth it.

Die Sickline Champs hat fast alle im Ötztal versammelt, doch Max und ich haben die Chance genutzt die Bäche Tirols für uns zu haben. Ein paar von den Jungs waren mit uns unterwegs und haben uns bei diesem fabelhafen Trip mit low volume Creeking und Wuchtwasser begleitet. Gestartet haben wir die Tour auf der Wasserfallstrecke des Defereggenbach, sie ist nicht lang, aber trotz der nur 3 km absolut lohnenswert.
