White Noise Video, A local kayaker’s creation

Here at Maine River Life we get super stoked when other boaters are out there producing cool videos/photos and creating more exposure for Maine’s whitewater scene. White Noise Video is a small video production company started by local kayaker Jacob Thomas. Jake started off making rafting videos for an outfitter on the Kennebec River and is currently in the process of developing some sort of aerial flying camera rig thing. Not sure what it’s going to be, but we can’t wait to see it! We just wanted to give a shout out to Jake, keep up the good work man! Check out his website at www.whitenoisevideo.com

Sandy River Dam

This video was thrown together a few seasons ago on good old iMovie, seems as though the sound got misaligned when it was uploaded too but none the less here’s a short film of the “Rumor Has It” wave. This was the first day out for most of us that season, near 80 degree day on april 1st.

New forums!

I have finished setting up the Forum page and it’s now live and ready for use! There might be some kinks to work out but things are looking good so far. Spread the word, the more people we get posting the better the content will be. I have also added a gear swap forum after a few requests were made. Spring isn’t to far away, if you’re looking for new gear or have some gear to get rid of, start posting!

Calling on the whitewater community of Maine!

I have added businesses to the community page, and pulled info from your websites. I know not everyone is listed yet, and I’m sure some of you will want to rewrite your blurb. Send me an email! I especially need info from Penobscot River area businesses. Spread the word! Use the contact page or email directly to walker@maineriverlife.com

When Mass guides come to Maine

Every year a group of Massachusetts guides from the CrabApple base on the Deerfield River come up to Maine to play on some bigger water with their friends at the CrabApple Maine base. This year the Maine guides let the Mass guides guide the first run in some 16 footers. The second run the Maine guides took over and showed the Mass guides how its done, they also broke out the 13 footers.

Paul gets artsy with low water

Paul, a Video Boater in The Forks threw together this awesome and artistic edit after a day of some low water shred on Chandler Mill Stream!

A bunch of meats…

Yep, a whole crew of meats packed into a car headed to the Dead River put-in after hurricane Irene had delivered a mid season blessing. However, we were about 1/2 way to the put in for the Dead, which was running somewhere around 12,000CFS when our lead car driver pulled over and jumped out at the Enchanted Stream crossing. Pete Mac, the driver and local kayaker insisted we’d be wasting a good day of creeking if we didn’t give’er a go! Injured, he had to stay behind. He was also the only one that knew the river. We decided to send it, planned to meet the rest of our group with the raft at the mouth of Enchanted on the Dead and off we went. “Don’t go left!” P Mac shouted and that was that.

Huck Fest!

Chuck Mathieu had the crazy idea of gathering a slew of boaters to run Grand Falls on the Dead River. Through a facebook event and some good word of mouth advertising things came together. Chuck managed to gather some of Maine’s best paddlers for an all out huck fest. Some carnage ensued, but everyone through down. You can bet they’ll be back next season, and with a bigger crew. Check out what went down that morning:

Almost there…
