Il bello Ticino

Einige der besten Wildwasserperlen sind für die europäischen Paddler im Tessin zu finden. Auf unserem letzten Trip zu den schweizer Eidgenossen haben wir uns Ribo, Verzasca und Co. vorgeknüpft und mächtig Spaß gehabt. Wasserfälle, coole Kombis aus verzwickten Einfahrten mit netten Ausgangslöchern sowie technisch anspruchsvolle Passagen, kein Paddlerwunsch blieb unerfüllt. Mit meinem neuen Liquidlogic Jefe habe ich einige krasse Lines hingelegt und für euch auf Zelluloid festgehalten.

Also fui spoass.

2 Jefe Grande on French National TV

Hello All!

This is my first post here. So I won’t be long.

Just a quick news to let you know that this Saturday 8 of May at 18H00 there’ll be a 6mn program  during the ADN TV Show. This show is usually watched by 3,5 millions television viewers. Not bad for creek boating ;-) Usually in France you don’t see kayaks on TV execpt once every 4 years for the Olympics. So it’s pretty new and very interesting to be able to show nice kayaking on TV. The story is about Alex “Jakette” Besseau, 3rd place C1 freestyle at the last worlds. He usually use Gui Gui Prod boat but for that mission I gave him my old Liquidlogic Jefe Grande. It’s a road trip where I introduce him to running waterfalls, the climax is the classic Ribo drop, a clean 16 meter drop. That’s for the story, we were pretty lucky with sun and water level so there should be some nice images.

The show can be podcasted here for a week after it has been broadcasted:
