Update from Zak Shaw
Hey to the team and Bliss-stick.
Huge time of it this week! I decided not to head back to California this year and instead Justin Venable and I are creeking in the Andes mountains of Peru. This week we completed a crossing of the Salkantay pass 4600m with kayaks before dropping into the Rio Santa Teresa. The boatin was full on with just 23km taking 14 hours on the water. The river dropped 1250m!

 Sad News in tonight from the USA ... I have just had word tonight that our NE Bliss-stick US agent and rep Jim O'Brien drowned on a Kayak incident on the Hubbard.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Jim very well over the past few years, via email and phone calls from NZ, and will truely miss his sincerity and passion he had for Kayaking and he was truely a valued member of the Bliss-stick family, our sincere thoughts go out to Jims friends and Family at this time.
