Stikine Por Fin Photos by Brian Fletcher

Day two starts off with the bottom part of Site Zed. It is probably one off the most difficult eddy lines I have ever crossed. During the first attempt of the Stikine in the early 80's the team put in way above the normal launch point and running some very, very large action.

Entrance Falls. It was nice to get this one under our belts. After this rapid you realize what kind of beast you are dealing with.

Summer 2007

Wow,
I can't believe it is already September, what a season. Now I have time to work on my much neglected website and blog. Myself and the instructors at TKS would like extend a big thanks to everyone that joined us for lessons this summer. Kayaking is wonderfull life long sport to enjoy with friends and family, so keep practicing everyone. The following images are just a few of the many adventures we had this summer.
Cheers
Matt Wilson
Owner

Matt Wilson takes advantage of the pre-runoff on Escalante Creek. At this moment Matt is in the process of becoming the new owner of TKS.

Kayaking is like pathology but different

Cassie, an employee of Jagged Edge Mountain Gear, spent the morning learning the subtle nuances of kayaking. Cassie was an exemplary student, surely a bi-product of being a molecular bilogy major...Nice work Cassie!

Luke, Hugh and Josh spent the day kayaking, but refrained from the roll session in the afternoon claiming fatigue. A little too tired after last night's midnight movie marathon...there's a lesson hidden in there somewhere boys...See ya next time...

AM Paddle in Telluride

Even though you stayed up 'til midnight watching movies, it was still a nice morning for kayaking with your buddies in Teluride. You know what they say Josh: "if you hoot with the night owls, you can't soar with the eagles!

WOW...that's fun!

If not a bit chilly...
