About Me:
I live in Boise, Idaho and paddle the Payette River System (mainly). I have been in the sport for a long time but just recently really got into it..
I am very interested in creating a whitewater park for Boise so I made a video with the the help of local paddlers Skip Armstrong, Melissa Newell, and Scott Wooten who is my freestyle coach. I really want a park and Boise and hope to continue my efforts in making one.
I got my combat roll in Mid- July so I havent really done anything real crazy yet but I hope to continue to practice my skills and enjoy the sport to its fullest extent.
I also backcountry ski, run cross-country for school, and play basketball.

This wave is a really great wave if you stay to the left. We all have been able to surf it and some of us are throwing blunts and such. This wave is rig… Continue
