Creeking paradise in Italy
I am not affraid to say that Ayasse is my new favorite river in Europe. After friends advices to go paddle out there we were stoked on what we found. Smooth granite slides and drops deep in gorges where it feels great to be. We ended up staying there for three days straight just filming and lapping all the sections. It was pretty cool and I cant wait to go back there! Check out some of the pictures Meg Smith got out there. Thanks!

puttin in for another lap
sweet fun slides
jakub stokin it in his habitat 80
Below upper section there is more funn drops and rapids. Unfortunately we had no time for that because of filming and lapping upper section. At the bottom of the river, before confluence with Dora Baltea there is really cool class V gorge we fired up on the next day and it was sick. Check these pics out to find out.
nice airial boof
Below all these fun slides there comes a must run. Its this awesome waterfall below. Its got tight lead in and good freefall. After that you gotta wait for your buddies in crazy cave/eddy/rapid ;) and you can keep on going…
Running the shit deep in this beautiful gorge
This is a last drop of the bottom section
back in camp afterwards
Now I am finally back in good old Colorado after three months of travelling straight. Snowpack is really really good this year and you can be sure I am gonna run the shit out here and post some pictures on Sweet site again.
Have a great summer!!!!
