Full speed with an old Phoenix Match II on my home creek. I self-shuttled with a 2 mile run from takeout to put-in before racing down the creek, which felt fantastic on a day with a 100 degree heat index. Distance: 2.26 miles Flow Rate: 190 ft^3/s Time: 14:54 Average Speed: 9.1 mph
2024 Upper Yough Race: 34:59.9 (+1:15.5 - 11th Overall)

My first proper crack at the Upper Yough Race with a longboat. I figure I could have been 20 seconds faster with more efficient power delivery in the flat sections and the small errors cleaned up. The other 55 seconds needed to match Shimmy will have to be gained from better training on and off the water. The water level was a low 2.03 ft on the Sang Run gauge.

As part of my Upper Yough Race preparations, I decided to experiment with some outfitting changes in attempt to improve outright performance. Mainly, I wanted to discover the difference between using the back band as I normally would while casually running a river as opposed to not using it at all. The results are interesting.

Massive thank you to Caitlin Yanko for letting me use her 12R for this year's Upper Yough race. This was my first lap down the river with my temporary ride. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable I felt in the boat right away. The next trick is to refine the lines and add speed.

Modifying a slalom C1 because ... Why not? - TGB v1.0
Переглядів 175Рік тому
A hybrid C1/K1 that was decent at both, but not great for either, is slowly transforming into something more of a proper C1. These are the first major modifications made to a boat and design that I loved, but knew that much better was possible.

Upper Yough - Teaching Myself the "Race" Lines
Переглядів 2052 роки тому
This was my first attempt at learning the race lines on the Upper Yough in preparation for last year's Upper Yough Race. By "attempt," I mean trying to figure them out as I go without a guide explicitly showing me. The result was a lap that largely failed to follow the actual race lines. This lap was either in late June or early July 2021, with the level around 2.3 ft.
High Water Slalom Training - Spring Creek Kayaking - Bellefonte, Pennsylvania
Переглядів 1423 роки тому
Spring Creek came up to 750 cfs the other day thanks to an overnight rainstorm. Normal flows here are usually between 150-200 cfs. I had to rush over to the gates to make sure they weren't dragging in the water, and of course I had to hop in a boat and enjoy the flows after adjusting the gates. If only we had these flows all the time, and with taller, well-built barriers for creating better edd...

Hey loved the vid, the yough's a real pretty river. Would love to go kayaking on it soon. Btw ive got that same kayak mines a '98. Know where i can get any parts?
God I hate paddlers that go up on rocks and all you can see is the sky. WTF is this thing? Why?
Thanks for the ride. Thought for sure that was the Madawaska River
Good stuff Alden!!
Dude cracking that beer after national “priceless”. 😝
You’re a beater
Is that a Czech paddler's boat you're paddling there (CZE sticker)? If so, sounds like an interesting story behind it: how did that make its way to the Savage river?
The boat originally belonged to Karolina Galuskova, daughter of Vladislav Galuska (owner of Galasport). Karolina was on the Czech team for the Junior Worlds that were held in Wausau, WI in 2012. My coach Dave Kurtz was a Galasport distributor in the USA back then and offered himself as a personal chauffeur for Vlada and Karolina during their time in the States. As a thank you, Vlada sold the boat to Dave for a heavily discounted price and it's been with Mach 1 Slalom Team in central Pennsylvania ever since. Karolina placed 2nd at the Junior Worlds in this boat, only finishing behind Jessica Fox.
@@wheresaldocanoe Thank you! I was already thinking in that direction. Sounds like both Karolina and Dave got a good deal out of that kind interaction! Impressive that you can fit in her boat!
@@walthanas I'm neither tall nor heavy, so fitting in this boat is pretty easy!
Nice run!
Cool, it was really interesting to see your lines.
Great job Alden!
That looks like the battle pass Alden.
Looks fun
The Mo Creekers are back home!
