Here’s a still image captured by Jon Shannon on a recent trip to the Romaine up in eastern Quebec. Be sure to check out LVM issue 32, coming soon, for more Romaine footage and sights of a river being dammed. That’s the real digger.

To give props to our very own Will Lyons and JJ Shepherd making the cover of this months American Whitewater magazine, OC-2 on the Green River Narrows, today’s Golden Stroke is from Daniel Windham’s OC2 short film. All I can say is…Are you crazy?!

A year has passed since I visited the Buddha’s birth country, and I cannot wait to return.
The Himalayas play host to all types of ultra-classic rivers that are just there for the slaying. It’s a long journey to Kathmandu and quite a trip once you are there; so bring along a good book or two, a deck of cards, some spare undies, and an adventurous appetite.
Get yourself a copy of Peter Knowles’s book: Whitewater Nepal, a plane ticket (Virgin flies to Delhi and doesn’t charge for kayaks), a motivated homie or two, fly over there and be somebody.
