My season in BC started very slowly working lots on the Clearwater River and not getting much paddling in for myself. As the season finished I teamed up French ripper Jules Domine and a small crew, and that all changed.

Adrian Kiernan, Antoine Dupuis, Jules, and myself were cutting laps on the upper gorges of the Clearwater when the legendary Homathko River just dropped in at the high side of good. After a day of manic packing, finding all the equipment needed, and checking and re-checking levels, we were in the car and on our way north to Tatlayoko Lake.

Tatlayoko lake is the start point for the 4 day source to sea descent of the Homathko River. This river has it all for the class 5 kayaker. 4 days of sick whitewater, amazing scenery, we were blessed with great weather, I even managed to spot 4 grizzly bears!

This amazing section of river has a very narrow window of what is runnable and the previous two descents had to be evacuated for one reason or another. The trip ends in the Wilderness Homathko camp, from here you have a float plan land on a inlet of the pacific ocean and shuttle you back to your vehicle at Tatlayoko lake.

Enjoy the photos from one of the top 5 multi days:

We are proud to learn that Astral Ambassador Lachie Carracher has completed the first solo descent of Australia’s Fitzroy River.

Lachie completed his mission in just 5 nights which makes it also the fastest descent to date.
