A- is for avocados. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sam was not overstating the pure magic that can be found in the avocados of Chile. They’re plentiful, they’re delicious, and they’re cheap… and, hence, a part of nearly every meal. B- is for boofing. The rivers here are the perfect training

It’s no secret: I love my Diesel 60. Seriously, I’ve spent so much time in that boat, I feel like I think what I want it to do and it responds. It was the boat I learned to roll in and remains my go-to craft any time I’m hopping on something new, namely because I

Actually, Sam Fulbright wanted to title this article, “Top 5 list of waterfalls that are dope. so dope. illest.” Sam and Pablo (2 of our guides) have been ranting and raving about the list of perfect waterfalls that can be run in Chile, and honestly, a list of five hardly suffices. This is just a (very)

I sit in the eddy, alone. My hands tremble uncontrollably until I wrap them tightly around the shaft of my paddle. Once again, I thank my lucky stars that I’ve chosen a sport that does not require me to stand on two legs as I am certain there’s no way I could do so with

This is a statement we have been hearing quite a bit, along side the question, “are you going to run the trip again next year.” Firstly, there won’t ever be a trip like this one again! I have gone the distance to ensure that our first ever-international trip is covering all bases. There will be
