We came back to Finland from USA about two weeks ago. The trip was nice: good weather, friendly people, different culture, different nature, outdoor lifestyle and awesome freestyle spots, kayakers and world competition. After this trip we have been dreaming that some day we could paddle a hole like Pigeon.
Below are some of the best pieces of this trip and links to water releases of Pigeon river, Nantahala river and Rock Island
