First D - Monkman Creek, Tumbler Ridge – British Columbia
Rush, Patrick, Brooks and Tyler were joined by Nelson BC hucker Mikkel St. Jean. With boats loaded for 3 days away the boys headed deep into Grizzly country in Tumbler Ridge Provincial Park (which had just reopened after having been closed due to 3 Grizzlies that had been “causing a lot of grief”). From the photos and info we had the 20km hike in would lead us to 10 good to go trail-side drops in the 30-80 footer range… Unfortunately most of the drops turned out to be not so trail-side and not so good to go (rocks in landing, bad lips – some would be better with more water) The group still managed to get on a few great drops and some fun rapids on the paddle out.
Slave River
Tribe pro team members Brooks Baldwin, Tyler Bradt, Rush Sturges and Pat Camblin on this northern big water classic. The boys met in Edmonton and made the long drive north to find the Slave running at a solid flow of around 4700cms (170,000cfs). The water was still fairly warm and the colder temps meant the normally heinous mosquito situation wasn’t a problem. The slave boasts some of the best big water boating in the world with a multitude of channels with waves of all sizes to surf and lines as burly as you want to make them.
