Kayaking Hagen Creek and the Upper North Fork Washougal - 15" - 05.05.2024 (Full Run)
Hagen is definitely a favorite of mine and I wasn't sure if it was going to come in again this year. So great to get back on this incredible stretch of water one more time this season with Adam, Casey, Whitney, Luke, and Patrick.
We encountered two new pieces of wood (05.05.2024). First piece is about a couple hundred yards up stream of Hagen-Daz. It’s river wide in one of the small ledge drops. 3 boat eddy river left, 1 boat eddy river right above the drop. We portaged left.
Second piece is a river wide log in the boogie between tea kettle and crack drop. Almost exactly where the old piece was. We were able to easily float over it at our flow, which was roughly 15” when we got to the stick at the end of the lap. Could be an issue if you went at a lower flow.
This is essentially the entire run minus a few stretches of class II boogie. 15" on the NF bridge stick. 05.05.2024

Little White Salmon - 3' - 04.21.2024 (Whole Run - First Lap)
Переглядів 4,4 тис.28 днів тому
I ran the Little White Salmon a couple of times last season at very low flows (2' and lower) and have been very much looking forward to the next LW season since. Plenty of ugly lines to clean up, but this decent at a good flow represents the accomplishment of a goal I've been pursuing for a really long time and I'm super proud of it. Couldn't have asked for a better crew of paddlers to show me ...

Where is this place?
Southern Washington/tributes into the Columbia River.
Nice run. thx for sharing. And thx for not killing the roar of the river with a random music sound track.
Never fun to see those death logs, risky to run that drop on the left, sweet line, that was epic man, mad skills
Wow thanks for sharing 😍❤👍
Wow amazing 😍❤
Great edit, Andy! I’m copying your approach at Euphoria. You set yourself up perfectly.
Thanks, Brooks. I changed my line at Euphoria a little after hip checking the fan rock last year lol. Worked out pretty well this time.
Can you up more video
good lines
Hello Andy, Hello everyone I congratulate you on this great adventure. Thank you for the wonderful film. Best regards Raphael Wellig
Thanks, Raphael.
Love it
Xtreme!!
😍
Congrats
😱 you’re the GOAT
We are blessed for this content 🙏
What’s it like being the person who makes the best kayaking content on UA-cam?
Incredible 🤩
Just discovered this channel! Incredible!
dingdong! straight off the top @ Doorbell 🤙🏼
Yeah, man. Hard to beat the feeling of a good line on that one.
Great lines and edit, Andy. That looked like a healthy winter 3.2’. Wish you had gone all the way to BZ?
Thanks, Brooks. On this particular day I was feeling pretty tired from paddling the day before, so was feeling pretty good about getting out at Big Bro.
Oh God I really love kayak ,but can't afford it ❤
The log @ 4:58 would definitely be an issue at any lower flow. I thought there was 1 other one in play that was diagonal downstream to the left with the top just right of center, but most of the water going into/under it that was after then. Not sure if you edited that out, or the camera wasn't working, or if I just don't remember it right
I didn't really edit out any of the river below the last bridge and the start of the bigger water. I'm thinking that the log you might be thinking of is in the lead-in to Willard's. There was a log that I remember seeing that I think matches that description, but I don't have footage to confirm.
Very glad Evan Garcia had run it recently & let us know it is MOSTLY free of wood
Agreed. So many blind corners and horizon lines; having a relative idea that things were mostly clean was very helpful.
Holy Crap -- Wow! My boating days are long gone, but with your videos, I not only get to relive them, but go beyond into waters I never would have boated. Thanks so much Andy for posting!!!
Nice work, guys!
Thanks, Brooks. Don't get to do a boat scout/eddy hopping mission like this very often. Was certainly intimidating, but super satisfying.
@@andylozovoy8367that is indeed a dying art in this era of video scouting. I recall exploring this run for a couple seasons when it was unusually free of wood in the mid 2000s. I found 4' to 4'1" on the MB guage to be ideal flows. The move at the dam structure went well on the right. Then there was a really steep drop called Simon Says that we ran on the right where the line threaded the needle between two manky rocks in the landing zone. All the recent videos show people running that drop around on the left, which looks cleaner than what I remember, but the rocks forming the drop might have moved and changed the line. Willard Falls was always big clean fun, but then it and some of the upstream drops became blocked by large wood hazards so I stopped running this section. Anyway, great to see you guys getting on it, and thanks for sharing the video. It's a fantastic option when the lower LW is too high for comfort.
@@bfosterkayaking Yeah, the drop at the hatchery structure looked good to go on the right, but we didn't want to risk being washed into Simon Says if anything went wrong. There is currently a large log blocking the majority of the right side of Simon Says @11:06; so, the left line, which didn't look good to us at our flow, appears to be your only option right now. After scouting a route, we were able to portage on river right without issue and get back in just downstream of the log. Although I'm personally very glad that we didn't have more water for our first lap, I imagine 4.0' would be a really great flow for this run and a little bit cleaner. That being said, even though there were one or two spots that were a little manky, 3.8' didn't feel too low to me by any means.
best kayak channel on YT
0:08 ahh perfect kayaking weather, amazing video
