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>Getting LW-ular!

Putting in at the Willard bridge and running the Upper/Lower LW is one of the best and most amazing things you can do in a kayak. The river drops close to 2,000feet in less than 5 miles. It is an endless ride of frothy white goodness from top to bottom!

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. (Und ja: Beide Autos haben wieder ordentlich Potenzial, das Land am Westzipfel Europas  gar nicht erst zu erreichen.)</p><div id="attachment_9618" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/002-galizien-kajak-lifestyle.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9618 " title="Portugal Kajak-Land?" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/002-galizien-kajak-lifestyle-200x300.jpg" alt="Portugal Kajak-Land?" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Portugal Kajak-Land?

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. Dann tauchten Sie auf: die drei Wasserfälle des Rio Laboreiro. Nach einigem Gescoute und den darauf folgenden, spektakulären Befahrungen folgte die »Umtrage der Hölle«. Durch Unterholz und Macchia mussten die Freunde ihre Boote um den vierten, unfahrbaren Fall umtragen. Mit zerrissenen Jacken und blutigen Fingern kamen sie schließlich am Ausstieg an. Zerkratzt, zerschunden aber irgendwie doch glücklich endlich den Laborairo in seiner vollen Pracht erlebt zu haben &#8230;</p><hr width="100%" /><a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/001-portugal-urlaub' title='Am Einstieg des Rio Vez'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/001-portugal-urlaub-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Am Einstieg des Rio Vez" title="Am Einstieg des Rio Vez" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/007-rio-vez-kajak' title='Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/007-rio-vez-kajak-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez" title="Fetter Boof auf dem ersten Wasserfall des Rio Vez" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/002-galizien-kajak-lifestyle' title='Portugal Kajak-Land?'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/002-galizien-kajak-lifestyle-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Portugal Kajak-Land?" title="Portugal Kajak-Land?" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/013-portugal-kajak-fahren' title='Der Beginn der Kaskaden des Rio Laboreiro'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/013-portugal-kajak-fahren-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Der Beginn der Kaskaden des Rio Laboreiro" title="Der Beginn der Kaskaden des Rio Laboreiro" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/009-castro-laboreiro' title='Castro Laboreiro'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/009-castro-laboreiro-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Castro Laboreiro" title="Castro Laboreiro" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/010-castro-laboreiro-kajak' title='Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/010-castro-laboreiro-kajak-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler" title="Rio Laboreiro - ein Traum für Wildwasserpaddler" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/011-rio-laboreiro-wasserfall' title='Der letzte Wasserfall des Rio Laboreiro'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/011-rio-laboreiro-wasserfall-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Der letzte Wasserfall des Rio Laboreiro" title="Der letzte Wasserfall des Rio Laboreiro" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/008-rio-laboreiro' title='Die Wasserfälle des Castro Laboreiro in seiner vollen Pracht'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/008-rio-laboreiro-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Die Wasserfälle des Castro Laboreiro in seiner vollen Pracht" title="Die Wasserfälle des Castro Laboreiro in seiner vollen Pracht" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/006-lifestyle' title='Kayak Lifestyle'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/006-lifestyle-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Kayak Lifestyle" title="Kayak Lifestyle" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/004-portugal-dorf' title='Historische liebenswerte Städte in Portugal'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/004-portugal-dorf-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Historische liebenswerte Städte in Portugal" title="Historische liebenswerte Städte in Portugal" /></a> <a href='http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/portugal-kajak-wildwasser/012-matthias-kajak' title='Matthias geschundenes Boot'><img width="155" height="155" src="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/012-matthias-kajak-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Matthias geschundenes Boot" title="Matthias geschundenes Boot" /></a><p><a name="english-text"></a></p><hr /><p style="text-align: justify;">Suddenly they´ve been everywhere. 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>Oregon Is Going OFF!</title><link>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/oregon-is-going-off</link> <comments>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/oregon-is-going-off#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:44:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Evan Garcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Creeking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[External Videos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Airborn Athletics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Drops]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Evan Garcia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Metlako]]></category> <category><![CDATA[North America]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Oregon]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/?p=9560</guid> <description><![CDATA[Here is a quick clip all slow-mo&#8217;d of me going off Metlako Falls at super high flow!!!!

Its finally up! Check out the 32 min of action-packed BC paddling. Big thanks to LiquidLogic!!!<br /> In this episode watch as team bomb flow travels around the great province of BC, Canada EH!<br /> Starting out near Fernie BC at the Elk River, the crew travels up to Revelstoke for some big drop huckin, then back down to the Southwest of BC for the Squamish area classics, then to the classic skookumchuck narrows for some playboating. The crew had an incredible 4 weeks, and even brushed up on their hockey skills.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/bomb-flow-tv-episode-4-british-columbia"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/bomb-flow-tv-episode-4-british-columbia/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Norway Roadtrip 2011 &#8211; Video</title><link>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/norway-roadtrip-2011-video</link> <comments>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/norway-roadtrip-2011-video#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:00:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Max Eberl</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Creeking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Drops]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Europe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jefe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jori]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LevelSix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Max Eberl]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Norway]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ophion Paddles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rauma]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Remix]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sjoa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Store Ula]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false"></guid> <description><![CDATA[Einen Monat nachdem ich aus Norwegen zurück bin, habe ich es doch glatt geschafft mein Video fertig zu schneiden.

Everything was still pumping so Hospital Rock and the East Keweah were out of question, but there is nothing wrong with running some big water class 4 after an epic 40 hour drive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GNWYS_3SuUo/TiS8Dy0bEpI/AAAAAAAAA4k/0sSg-Bv-F4c/s1600/IMG_3295.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630832207487242898" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GNWYS_3SuUo/TiS8Dy0bEpI/AAAAAAAAA4k/0sSg-Bv-F4c/s400/IMG_3295.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We added to that drive by going further north and heading to the Whiskey Flat Bridge, the takeout to the Secret Stash on Big Kimshew. We had heard the flows were right and that it was going to drop out pretty soon so we rallied to get on it.</div></div><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P1wqTIpyRLk/TiS8ERgLY-I/AAAAAAAAA4s/8MYlyS3uqow/s1600/IMG_3300.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630832215723828194" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P1wqTIpyRLk/TiS8ERgLY-I/AAAAAAAAA4s/8MYlyS3uqow/s400/IMG_3300.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><div><div style="text-align: center;">This was the end result of our load onto Jason Hales truck. Which also included 8 people.

Sadly. This is the Island Drop its the first (of very few) portage.</div></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631018006847634530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e59pO41b_7E/TiVlCvX7PGI/AAAAAAAAA48/Vi2TIuA30nU/s400/IMG_3306.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></p><div style="text-align: center;">Since we were looking from above these were the only rapids that you could see on the drive up to the put in. To scale, that slot on the left was somewhere between 8 feet and 10 feet high. You roll around the corner and head right where you are sent off your first very nice 20 footer of the day. There was much more where that came from.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yk2bW_uwf80/TiVlEAiwLbI/AAAAAAAAA5M/WOx46U189W0/s1600/IMG_3321.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631018028636319154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yk2bW_uwf80/TiVlEAiwLbI/AAAAAAAAA5M/WOx46U189W0/s400/IMG_3321.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The only time that we really stopped was to hang out at Frenchies Forty. We ate some food and rehydrated. We were planning on going straight into the Secret Stash after we finished the run and we knew there were some big rapids in there.</div><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1917UGro6oE/TiVlEVhIiaI/AAAAAAAAA5U/wCwRPCSJEuk/s1600/IMG_3341.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631018034266671522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1917UGro6oE/TiVlEVhIiaI/AAAAAAAAA5U/wCwRPCSJEuk/s400/IMG_3341.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></p></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Jason Hale, our fearless leader.</div><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4aHYxYvKtKQ/TiVmAekdFKI/AAAAAAAAA5c/wfySg3nlgWA/s1600/IMG_3352.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631019067488670882" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4aHYxYvKtKQ/TiVmAekdFKI/AAAAAAAAA5c/wfySg3nlgWA/s400/IMG_3352.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">Myself, stoked at the end of the trip. Happy to be with such an awesome crew of people and stoked to have just run some of the biggest rapids of my life, blind. &#8220;You can only run a rapid blind once.&#8221;</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Big Kimshew into the Secret Stash is like starting on a micro creek way up in there and then you end on a full on river with some massive holes and some really rowdy lines to be made. There is no other river that I have ever been on that has given me this much bang for my buck. Super sick run.</div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9119418-4490103047487761876?l=liquidlogicladieslounge.blogspot.com" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></div> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.teamliquidlogic.com/cali-goods-part-1/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
