hey guys just thought i would send in a little update.  Just got back from 5 weeks in norway.  trip was amazing and the country is up there with the most amazing places i have ever been.

  started out and had three great days in the south then went north and had a crazy line off a 40 footer with like 4000 cfs going over it and i hit the bottom of the river brakeing my collar bone and seperating my shoulder.  kept paddling even with it a little bit off until i first d’d a 70 footer and the whole thing turned black and i had to take two weeks off.  then i came came back strong and rallied hard the last two weeks paddling 1 to 2 time every day.  so finished it out epically and psyched not to be down for a while.  arm even feels stronger now.  also got to compete in voss extreme week that was one of the coolest events i have ever been to with a mass gathering of extreme sports athletes all in one place with some of the best races i have ever done.
