Ravens Fork Spring Update from Gareth Tate on Vimeo.

Last November an Asheville crew went to check out what Mexico had to offer. Mexico turned out to be a beautiful country full of wonderful people, food, landscape, and whitewater.

paddlers:

Laura Farrell, John Shannon, Gareth Tate, JJ Shepherd, Ben Stone, and Toby MacDermott

Check out this video that Gareth Tate put together from the Toxaway and Raven Fork Rivers. He had the opportunity to hit these NC classics the week before the Green Race with a world class team of paddlers from NC, CO, TN, and the Czech Republic.  Gareth is one of our local crew who grew up making goat cheese in the Piedmont of NC with his family. Now he spends most of his time running the steeps of WNC, hammering on his bike, and teaching swiftwater rescue curriculum for Landmark Learning

paddlers:  Gareth Tate,  Drew Duvall,  Laura Farrel,  Jakub Nemic, Chris Baer, Chad Pickens, Billy Jones, and others.
