When you think of Alabama, you probably think of hot, southern country. Open fields, farm land, etc. However, parts of Alabama are true hot spots of kayakers and climbers, including the Little River Canyon in the Northeast corner of the state – not far from Tennessee.

Here is a video of Lisa Rands working here way through a problem on the edge of the river.

Forge Motion Pictures did an amazing job this year with the 2012 5Point Film Festival trailer. Forge has done some great work over the years, including my personal favorite film Wild Water. I know the festival ended about 10 days ago, but this video just showed up in my Vimeo thread and I wanted to share it with you.

Shut Your Carabiner Gates

Saw this picture posted on a climbing subreddit by biotech9. He assured us the climber at the top was cow-tied in before the picture was taken – but man, check out those open gates on her carabiners. One false move and the rope can slide right out of there.

Africa is the heart of the wild – so much danger, yet so much potential. Potential for the adventure of a life time. Potential to explore the unknown.

This is a video of Andrew Matthews and Crew charging Minus Rapids in Zambezi. It’s rough and furious – but someone had to do it.

Adayak is 2 Years Old

David — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:02:03 +0000

Can you believe it’s been 2 year’s since Adayak first flipped the online store switch to “On” ? It’s been a great 2 years and we couldn’t have made it this far without the support of our loyal customers. To show our appreciation, join in on the celebration with 20% off your entire order – good through Friday 4/13. Enter coupon code 2year during checkout.

A lot has changed in 2 years. We’ve started with about 10 t-shirts and now have over 100 products including short sleeve tees for men and women, long sleeve shirts, hoodies and decals. We’ve shipped items all over the word to places like Ireland, Australia, Spain, and Germany. Makes me wonder what the store will look like after another 2 years.

One thing that hasn’t changed in the past 2 years is our promise to you. To provide the customer with a great selection and a good price. To offer eco-friendly apparel and to give back to environmental causes. To have 3-Day $3.99 flat rate shipping on all domestic orders, no matter how many items and order contains.

Some solid rock climbing in Hueco, Texas. Dry rock and blue bird skies make for not only a good film, but a great day on the rock.

It’s already spring in most of the United States – but not in Chelsea Vermont. Still waiting for the snow to melt and the trout to starting running. Fly Fishing season will be there before he knows it.

Breathless in Chile – Whitewater Kayaking

David — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:16:00 +0000

Chile is the Mecca for whitewater kayakers. Nigel Markey said, “Unique and spectacular don’t come close to describing the quality of whitewater on offer in Chile. The mountains and rivers can leave you truly breathless – in more ways than one.” Watch Nigel, along with a dozen other paddlers, journey through the depths of Chilean rivers. Plus, a nice rescue attempt around 3:20
