Sam Sutton Nice Iceland Blog & Pics.

After 14 days in Iceland I will be glad to finally be warm, I have been over here with a bunch of Germans and Jared Meehan having fun on a park and Huck tour and getting some sick video shots under our belts. Iceland is not a kayakers paradise but is defiantly worthy of a visit once in your life, the scenery has been like another planet and there are definantly some amazing waterfalls to through your self off. With some more snow and some more water you could defiantly spend a fear few weeks finding sweet waterfalls to through your self off, although I don't know how long the body will last. Any way here are some shots to explain the kayaking and landscape enjoy... Video to come once the boys edit the magic...

Bradley Lauder Update
Ive had a good few weeks cruising around Colorado to all the races and festivals, the 1st being the Lyons Outdoor games which has an amazing creek race on the South Saint Vrain.

With a big line up of paddlers and super high water I came in 2nd place behind Tao Burman, thanks to smoothe lines in my mystic.

From Lyons we drove South to Salida for the 64th annual FIRArk Festival - the oldest whitewater festival in the USA.

Ive put up a good story and photos on my blog www.bradleylauder.blogspot.com

Sweet

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!
