2024 Finale: My Whitewater Year in Review

My 2024 finale is a highlight reel of everything I paddled after the 2023 finale.

Video: 2024 Finale video on the SOLWYRX Paddlesports YouTube channel.

2024 was a year of firsts. It started on the Sandy on New Year's Day, took me down the Sandy in an inflatable kayak for my turning point, and filled up with Upper Clackamas kayaking, my first R1 videos, roll practice and a trip down the Lower Deschutes.

The 2024 videos

Highlights: New Years Day Trip on the Sandy River 2024, The Sandy River 2024, The Upper Clackamas, The narrows 2024, I paddled R1 on the lower Clackamas and The last rapid on the Lower Deschutes.

Catch up with the 2023 year Finale and keep going with the 2025 Finale. Thanks to everyone who paddled with me, and thanks to God 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.
