Teaser Vid by Filthy Phillygoat Baribeau

This is a little teaser of our quick filming trip with Tao and the "Nomads" crew. Thanks to Brian Lippy and Phil Baribeau for hooking it up! I´m settling into reality now, "working hard" with Rodrigo and Ema at Kayak Pucon. Chile is fun.

Big week in Pucon

These are just a few photos from the last week of boating in the Pucon area. When I have some more time, I'll work on more descriptions and more shots.

1) Rodrigo airing it out on the Nevados
2) Me on the way into the 2nd canyon on the Nevados.
3) Chris keeping his head above water on the Puesco, muy lleno de agua.
4) Todd about to take the biggest freefall of his life on the Middle Palguin.
5) Happy to be at the bottom.

Bienvenidos a Chile!

After about 48 hours of traveling...Todd and I finally made it to Pucon, Chile. We met up with Ross "The Boss" Henry, who was down here working for REI, and then the welcome wagon showed up. Rodrigo and Ema of Kayak Pucon and Oregon boater, Chris Korbulic, met us downtown and then we feasted on a classic Chilean asado.

The next day, Tao Berman, Philip Baribeau and Brian Lippy rolled into town to begin shooting for an episode of "Nomads." Rodriogo had already decided that the big one on the Tres Saltos would be a perfect drop to kick off the trip. An hour later we were geared up and the cameras were rolling. Low water made the drop a little more technical and bit scarier, but the boil at the bottom was nice and soft.

Asados and big waterfalls seem to be the theme of the trip so far. Stay tuned for many more photos of the goods we've found in just the first week here. Hopefully I'll be able to compress the photos from the last week of Mexico, too...

Hasta proximo!
