“pinned underneath rocks”

“Extreme Whitewater Kayaker” and award winning filmmaker, Chris Gallaway, paddled over a guy who was “pinned underneath rocks” during this year’s Green Narrows Race. I hope they got the rocks off of that guy. Where did the rocks fall from that this paddler was pinned underneath? From the heavens? Did aliens put them there? Hear the story directly from the man himself in this exclusive interview with Asheville’s Citizen Times.

Let’s get to know one another at NOC this Friday

This Friday, July 9th, at 7:00 pm please come see me at NOC. I’ll be showing a kayak film on a big screen in the retail store. From 6-7 I’ll be available to help folks with IR and Shred Ready product questions, then the film will premiere at 7pm sharp. Try to groom your arm hair a little better than the photo below before we shake, if you don’t mind. DVDs, t-shirts and stuff will be available at the showing. Free stickers like these for non-hairy-arm handshakes.

If you live near or around the area we would love to see you. RSVP on Facebook. Thanks, Spencer Cooke, Effort Inc

The Eddy Feeling

What does kayaking mean to different individuals, from the untrained beginner, to the seasoned professional? A collective of kayaking filmmakers entitled Rapid Transit, all of whom share a common goal of telling fun, exciting and engaging stories through the lens of a camera, attempt to give an answer, or perhaps just a perspective regarding this query. Along the way viewers will plunge into North Carolina’s deepest and most remote gorge, the Linville. Onlookers will meet the kayakers who first attempted the Linville Gorge descent in the 1970s, and see the reality of paddling this river over 30 years later.

The Lower Chauga

After the Deadman in the Darkroom gig at the 2008 Gauley Fest, I was approached, by an old friend of mine, to help in producing a short film. The goal of this project was to aid in acquiring funds to purchase a two mile stretch banking the Lower Chauga in the upstate of South Carolina. These two miles are located within the runout of the often paddled class IV Chauga section. This acquisition would connect to the present Chau Ram Park trail system and give the general public access to a greater portion of this wilderness. Due to the recession in America’s economy the State of South Carolina cut all funding from the Preservation Department and the project never got off the ground.
