Videos of paddling throughout Northern California and beyond. If you want to come and paddle some of these rivers for yourself, I recommend purchasing a copy of "The New School Guide to Northern California Whitewater", available at www.newschoolpublications.com. Happy paddling, I hope you enjoy the flicks!

Upper Cherry 2021
มุมมอง 3.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We scored Upper Cherry Creek this June, the flow was alright, the crew was fantastic and the rapids kick butt. It's my first GoPro footy, so excuse me for the waterspouts on the lens. Also, the camera tricked me into thinking it was recording so I missed Cherry Bomb, the best rapid of the run. Enjoy!

Alice DiMicele is the best. The Alabama Shakes are pretty good too! If you haven't been to Northern California its time to plan your trip :-)
Willow Creeking

Kayaking down run #66 in the New School Guidebook. A local classic creek run that follows Highway 299 less than one hour from the coast. Easy access and nonstop action characterize the run as well as a manky, shallow, woody, sieved out and loose riverbed. Locals favorite!

Kayaking the Upper Middle Fork Eel River
i love these videos
Beautiful
Nice video. Garbage music.
Excellent choice of music ..
looks like it needs more period or wave height, breaking through the rocks like that. Very tough conditions to have fun in.
That shit gnarly
Holy Smokes!!! Lumsden too and made it look easy!
Do you remember what the flow was? Been after this one for years and looks like a great flow for a first trip.
Approx flow?
I swam down that falls as a young teenager. Nice smooth rocks
Just plain sick.
Yeah buddy :)
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
low, clear beautiful water. the rapids had no names when we rafted it years ago, seems like it was one long rapid for miles. my brother would bail and i would row. no helmets no dry suits or wet suits, and no company.
I miss Coach and Madman Miguel so much. How was I to know that 5 years later they would both be gone forever. This is a more sentimental video for me now than it was when I made it, and I'm so happy that I did. Hippie, you better stick around, and I'll try too.
Paddle faster, I hear banjo music.
Really great feel to this
Nice vid, I’d rather hear the river.
Eucalyptus north or eureka, Eureka, the Eel River bridges north of Rio Dell,... Awesome! Ukunom Creek... How the hell did you get your kayaks up there? Since you were there, you shoulda put Bluff Creek and the bridge at Orleans in the video. Thanks for posting this so many years ago so I can enjoy it today. 😂
Music brought to you by... 'John Holmes Studios'.
Actually it was my buddy Mike "Madman Miguel" Lee and he's not around to appreciate your comment anymore. It does have that kinda sound though 😂
@@DanMenten I'm glad you saw the humor. New River is a great place. I've been going there for over 25 years. We usually stay at the sight a few miles up from Denny, right at the bridge. We'll also stay at Madonna. Our favorite spot is Indian Hole (called that by the locals). You probably know it as the Hand of God. Great swim hole. When I first got there it was about 30' deep. Now it's maybe 20. Anyway, awesome place. And thanks for sharing your trip!
Those of you talking shit about this spot....I haven't even surfed here, but after watching this video and seeing these guys get dragged for days wave after wave that, by my best estimates are triple overhead plus waves over boulder infested inside, I dare you to go try that and talk shit and say it's a mushy shitty wave. Those are powerful heavy waves. Just because they aren't barreling or walling up doesn't mean they won't kill you. You probably talk shit about Nazare too saying it's a mushy beach break. Mush is weak powerless surf, probably something you're use to. I bet you guys don't even paddle out once it gets overhead at your local beach break. This shit is what separates the men from the boys. You'd never be able to take a pounding like these guys and survive.
True statement. I have surfed here. It is mushy but that makes it so you really have to get close to the white water to actually catch a wave. You really have to commit and if you miss it, for get it, the next wave will take you for a ride. I've been in the exact same place as these guys. It gets frustrating cause you think your in the spot but it just bounces you out the back so you have to get closer and closer. And don't even try riding your 6'6" "step up". That shit is a joke. Shut your mouth right now unless your packing an 8' + Just for paddle power. Your right though 90 percent of the WORLD SURFING POPULATION would not be able to get a wave at this place at this size... And it's not even doing its thing yet.
@@bword6797 I second that. Only surfed here a few times and people also have to realize the water is like 50° . Creepy boils, lots of water moving, and this is not a flattering angle to shoot from. These waves are at LEAST double overhead.
Nice
What was the level?
I’m with you in spirit.
Thanks for the ride! Soooo STEEZY!
So is this a different put in than normal?
When the Kibbie Ridge access was closed due to a landslide we started hiking in from Bourland Meadow. You miss the amazing "put-in slide" but catch all the other great rapids. The hike is half the distance, but harder and involves more off-trail route finding. I consider it a more fun approach but it also requires a longer shuttle and is logistically tougher. Make of that what you will...
Awesome edit!
Thanks Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed it...next time I'll catch my epic line off cherry bomb!
Sick edit!
What in the fuck is this music
The River is very beautyfull. Nice Video. Greetings ronactive
Cheers Ron
Top shelf!!!
Thanks Bubba, I'll try and give you some more goods!
Hahaha I body surfed down this years ago
Come on. I wanted to see you swim like a carp.
Have you ever seen me swim? Didn't think so...I've seen you carping tho :-)
Hey!! What’s happening James? Awesome video. That really looks like a special place. I’m glad Mr. Menten takes the time to film. It is greatly appreciated. I hope all is well. Thanks again for being a super rad instructor for my guide school a few years ago. It was a life changing experience.
Awesome, Dan!
Thanks John, much love bro
I just realized that all comments are turned off for "kid friendly videos", any thoughts?
Looks like a great trip!!
It is an amazing piece of whitewater and definitely the best thing going in California this summer. I'm lucky to be down here
There aye rock right there if I fall off u can die
I love it Dan!
Lets collaborate on the next one :-)
Yoo this is badass. I never knew Humboldt was like that up there.
Its a beautiful place. Thanks Gemini!
What Part of Hayfork creek is this? Looks wild and fun.
That is some smooth kayaking through stretches of N. Coast I’ve only read about in guidebooks including the New School. That NF Smith looks so legendarily beautiful. That first rapid on the SF Trinity with bouldered symmetry and difficult choice of line. And the Stuart Fork with waterfall coming in from the right. Off the charts, that’s some “disgustingly” beautiful scenery.
Loved the ejection! Work that open water swim!
Horse knows how to make a proper ejection, that's for sure!
Looks awesome.
great choice of backing tracks
Local movie, local music:'p
This might be the crappiest point break in California (surf wise)
It's mushy rocky and full of scary wildlife, I agree
Sick video!! Hey man I just landed in Redding and am looking to beater in some of this NorCal sweetness. Where should I look?
Awesome
the worst music ever for any surf vid..pure crap
Unexpectedly saw 2 buddies of yours come out of the hand of god yesterday, I was like WTF y'all are CRAZY! I do dumb dangerous stuff consistently back there and would never do this... props to all you few on the new
