Kids Adventure Games at Squaw!
This year I got to stay in Squaw for Kids Adventure Games. I’m usually in France already, but this year my parents let me stay for it. You can read more about it here and plan to participate yourself next year! My friend Cahyani from Berkeley came up to be my teammate. I also took her kayaking […]
Truckee River in the Spring
After a whirlwind winter and spring of kayaking in amazing places – from the man made river in Oklahoma to the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon – happy to be in the water here at home. Love the Truckee River in the spring with friends.
Kayaking the Grand Canyon was awesome!
My parents got a permit for the Grand Canyon! Last time my parents went they didn’t take us, they thought we were too young. But this time, they decided 11 years old and 8 years old was old enough. My teenage cousin, Athan, came with us too. I got the impression that people thought my […]
Oklahoma Kayak Center!
I just spent 3 weeks at OKC. OKC is the land of lego block rivers, conveyor belt shuttles, and fiberglass boats. It’s very different then what I am used to. I went there to train Slalom with Brendan Curson and Chilliwack Centre of Excellence. Mike Holroyd from Alberta Slalom Canoe Kayak brought his team too. They came […]
A River’s Last Chance and Truckee StS
Last night, Laurel and I gave a presentation about the Truckee River Source to Sea expedition as the opening to a documentary movie premier. The movie, A River’s Last Chance, talks about the challenges that have faced the Eel River watershed over the past 100 years. Some similar issues face all of our rivers in […]

Thanksgiving at Trouble Maker!
For Thanksgiving this year, a group of my parents’ friends decided to go kayaking. Now that I started kayaking Chili Bar, I can join them! Here’s a video of my line in Trouble Maker – not perfect, but super fun!
6th Grade Yosemite Trip
Yay, we just got back from Yosemite! My 6th Grade class went on a field trip to Yosemite with Nature Bridge. It was really fun. We hiked a lot. And the food was really good. I had a field guide book that I drew in. I drew Half Dome and Yosemite Falls. During the day we […]
Kayaking in Canada
I just got back from Chilliwack, Canada! I was in Canada to learn how to slalom kayak. Slalom kayaking is when you have a long, fast, and narrow boat and you are trying to make it through all the gates without touching or hitting them. Here’s some basic information on Running a Slalom Race. It’s […]
Kids Spartan Race
Every year, my dad works on the Spartan World Championships in Squaw. This year, my brother and I got to do the kids race again. We did it twice. Maybe that was a bit too much because the second time we did it we had to carry a really heavy weight while doing the course. […]
