My 2023 year finale is a roughly 26-minute highlight reel of everything I paddled that year.
Video: 2023 year Finale! on the SOLWYRX Paddlesports YouTube channel.
2023 was the year the channel really got going. It covers the Rogue (Blossom Bar and the Rainie Falls fish ladder), a bunch of Clackamas days including the chills and spills trip, my first Clackfest race in the Super Puma, and high water on the Lower Santiam.
Putting a finale together every year is one of my favorite things to do. It's a chance to look back at how much you've grown, thank the people who made it happen, and give God the credit for every safe day on the water.

Personal trip report: flows, wood and hazards change, and what worked for me that day isn't a rule for your boat or group. Check current conditions, scout, and boat within your training.
