Upper Cherry creekin'

Yo,

Happy to be alive after 4 days mission middle, west and upper Cherry like 10 days ago. Upper was too high and that was an oppurnity to come back again few days later with Tim Collins, Eric Giddens and Jake. Was great. We took our time to scout and stay safe. We did all the shit includinng Gorilla, Cherry bomb gorge, Double pot hole, Kiwi in the pocket and Dead bear with leadin.

All of you who can, just get out there. Its flowin perfect for few more days. I am getting scared already because tomorrow we should meet with Epicocity and Wave sport crew to do some shooting and run big waterfalls. Hope will survive it. :)

Have fun
Jakub

Kaweah valley

Yo dudes,

After Fantasy falls we drove with Ron Fischer to Cherry creek to catch up with Nate Garcia (17!) and Davis Gove. We hit West fork and had a great time. Unfortunelly without camera. Upper Cherry is too high so we drove for like 200 miles to Kaweah river. This Valley is so good. This valley is the shit! Firts day we hiked up couple of hours to do some propper whitewater and yeasterday we just had a good fun on classic Hospital rock section. Unfortunelly, have no pictures of Ron. He is taking pictures. I am doing the footage so you will b able to see him too. Dont know when though. Hopefully soon. :)

Have a good day
Jakub

California classics - South Silver and Fantasy falls

Hi there,

After couple of days finally sitting behind computer and relaxing before next mission. I came to California from Teva games with Ron Fischer to paddle some shit and there is a lot of it to do...South fork of Silver creek for warm up and then three days of class 5 on Mokulemne river. This section is called Fantasy falls and its really great. Shame we have done it just in two of us so we couldnt paddle the hardest stuff. Anyway. We are safe and ready to hike west fork of Cherry creek tonight. Cant wait. Those pictures dont need many comments. Most of them took Ron Fischer and like two of them myself.
Enjoy
Jakub

Yule creek, Teva games........CO warm up

yo bros and sis,

Came to Buena Vista, CO like two weeks ago to join with Paddle fest event and do Pine creek rapid and Numbers rapids on the Arkansas river. After couple of days I came to Edwards to visit friend of mine Tim Kennedy and paddle with him. We met kiwi guys Sam Sutton and Bradley Louder. We drove with them to the Yule creek. Met with Bryan Kirk, Rush Sturges, Fred and Nick and hit really nice and big rapids. That was a good run and on the next day we did a classic Oh b joyful creek on the other side of mountains. Was a good fun. After that we drove to Homestake river for some competing on Teva mountain games. Nowadays we are competing and having fun on Teva moutain games in Vail. Friend of mine Honza Lasko from Czech did well. Fourth place on Homestake steep creek race. I fucked it up and did 16th place. Looking for a ride to California to join with Ron Fischer and do some overnights.... Cant wait for it. Will  let yah know. Have a good one.

Italy and Switzerland; movies from Uganda and Norway

Hi,

We spent a last week in Italy and Switzerland and conditions were just great. Huge snowpack, nice weather, good crew and cool rivers of Tessin. Located by the borders of Italy and Switzerland.

We have paddled Verzasca river, Ribo river, Cannobio river, San Bernardino river, Stronna river, Rovana river, Bavona river, Isorno river and hiked up Basso river. All the rivers had like little bit more water than usually during this time. Was just perfect. And I can promise everyone that season in Europe is gonna b big. There is still heaps of snow in a mountains all around.

We made just one picture during the whole trip. Petr Kment is a good C1 kayaker doing really well. And he is a good photographer as well. Unfortunatelly, his camera broke down after first river Verzasca. Anyway it was a great trip and at least you can check out one picture and my movies from Uganda and Norway. They are posted on my new partners page:
