After all the rainy sessions Anschi, Riki and I headed to the Tessin and the Piemonte. A week of blue sky, relaxing in our hammocks and drinking red wine was ahead of us … oh, not to forget some lovely paddling. Due to not enough or too much water we were restricted to certain rivers [...]

One week after the flying lesson at the Steinbachgraben a bunch of us headed south: Raccolana and Soca where calling and of course we followed their call … If you want to see of know more about the Racollana then read Hiasis river description at soulboater.

Due to the fact that the gallerysytem is running again I have to produce some content ;). A month ago Kristin, Anschi and I fought the rainy weather and we paddled the Steinbachgraben and the Mitterweissenbach (and the Russbach afterwards ..)

After some years of waiting I was able to run the waterfall at the Zinkenbach … Anschi, Harry and I where lucky to enjoy the fall and the following gorge with sun and warm temperatures … ok, enough blabla – just have a look at the pictures

Spring has home and the rivers are running. This time Babsi, Anschi, Hiasi, Darko and I headed to the Weissbach near Lofer/Austria and we took the cameras along, so enjoy the pictures

We aim to be a forum for everybody interested in getting his paddle wet, be it in a canoe or kayak, in the [...]

After trying to get to the Sooke Potholes by bike and being hindered by the rain last Saturday we spent a fun Sunday on a boat trip…

Another public holiday – another trip. This time Babsi, Thomas, Michi and I headed south. At the Soca we met Nadine, Ben, Andrew and Christoph and we paddled the Soca for two days. But due to the low water we moved on to Osttirol for some wavetrains on the Isel – but just see for [...]
