2025 was huge. It had the Rogue trip (Grave Creek Falls, the Rainie Falls fish ladder, Mule Creek Canyon and Blossom Bar), the New Klamath after dam removal, the White Salmon, Clackfest races, R1 on the McKenzie, and the Project series. It's also the year my SOTAR sponsorship started.

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.

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.
The 2023 videos
Highlights from the year: Blossom Bar 2023, Rainie Falls fish ladder 2023, Lower Clackamas chills and spills, Fall 2023 The Upper Clackamas and high water on the Lower Santiam part 3.
Then keep going with the 2024 Finale and the 2025 Finale. For the bigger story behind it all, read From God, for God: the SOLWYRX story.
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.
