First day off the plane I was greeted by Anton, Ian, and my Dad in Santiago. We loaded up Ian’s new truck and drove straight to the Rio Claro. Finding the level was still super high my nerves set in big time knowing we were gonna drop into the Garganta Del Diablo canyon and run the Twirly Bird at high flows. I felt a bit bobbly in my boat, but after the first few class V drops I was back in my element feeling good as ever.

It was only Ian, Anton, and I in the canyon and we couldn’t even get out at the lip of Caracol to shoot, but with luck my pops was on the canyon rim and caught some of the action! Check the photos…

Ian running the TWIRLY BIRD!!!!!!

Myself tucking up and running the first stout of the trip…oh such a sweet moment.

The viking Anton bombing as always. Good to be back with the good boys running the real!

The rest of the canyon was a blur of pure beauty and high water scary action!!!!! It was a truly special day for me. Being back in my kayak healthy, with my older brother, good long time friend, and running the shit in my favorite country in the world! Like sands through the hour glass so are the days of our lives!!!!! Keep your eyes on egcreekin cuz we blowing shit up!!!!!!

Usere Reise begann Mitte Dezember in Santiago  de Chile. Aus ehemaligen Träumen wurde somit Realität, Träume wie zum Beispiel der Futaleufu, Rio Baker, Palguin und der weltbekannte Rio Claro.

Zwischen Autopannen, Kajak fahren und dem reinen Chaos ist dieses Video entstanden, ein Film über einen siebenwöchigen Kajaktrip in Chile.

Viel Spass!

Our journey started in Santiago de Chile in mid-December. Former dreams became true, dreams like the Futaleufu, the Rio Baker, the Palguin and the world-famous Rio Claro.

Amongst car breakdowns, kayaking and absolute chaos this video was produced – a movie about a 7 week trip through Chile.

Enjoy it!
Anton
