The infamous Rio Futaleufu, turned out to be one fun wave train. There are a lot of sections to the river, allowing for some spicy lines if you are looking for them. Overall, I have to say it was just good clean fun, after months of creak boating it did feel good to be able to sink my whole paddle blade in the water. That being said, big volume river running has never really been my thing. It is fun and all but it is hard for me to see the challenge when I can be 10 feet off my line and still be ok.
What I did know was that I was heading to the Baker in a few days and it was time to do some training on this big water.

I went for a bike ride one day and was greeted with this amazing moon shot
did I mention the views are amazing
These clouds, were soo colorful and seemed to play along with me.
Well that is all for Futa, this place really is pretty.
Stay tuned in the Baker write up is coming soon and it is BIG.
