Ben Jackson updates on the epic White Nile ... Gidday Guys, finally got to blogging my recent trip in Uganda on the White Nile. Got in some sweet paddling and managed to do it with a ton of kiwi's which was great. I linked in with a few of the other Bliss-Stick boys... Josh Neilson and Mike Dawson for some sweet stuff and a bit of ruckus.

The Smoothy was fantastic on the Nile. Fast (almost too fast for me some times), really responsive and great to paddle in the big water. I was much easier to handle than I thought a play boat would be in such big water. Big Up's to the team for that boat.

Anyways, full write up pics and more at jacksonoutdoors

2nd Descent of East Waikaia .... Gidday Charles, just got off the 2nd Descent of the East Waikaia, after hearing Keiths stories Jordy, Justin and I were eager to get in there to get a taste of what the sweet East Waikaia had to offer. The weather was right, the flow was right and we managed to get it done in two relatively short but challenging days and at the end we all had to agree and rate this as one of NZ's premier whitewater kayaking runs .... check out our full trip report and pics here .. and thanks to Justin Venable for the Pics ... cheers Barney Young
