A PUCON WELCOME!!!

I have been chasing warm weather and world class kayaking since my junior year in high school when i started at New River Academy. While at NRA i found a place that i truely  fell i love with, along with a few other of my friends. This place is Chile.This will be my 3rd year in a row to Chile and hopefully the best one yet.

I arrived in Pucon and headed out to the Pucon Kayak Hostel just outside of town. Its the perfect rally point to head to any of the great Pucon classics. Shortly after arriving I went back into town to the gringo kayakers hangout spot, Latitude 39, and ordered every gringos favorite stout burger. Thinking its not off to a bad start, it got better. Two of the  local gringos, Kurt Casey and Ian Garcia, roll in and join Dave Hughes and myself for an afternoon cerveza.  Figuring out an afternoon plan to go kayaking Ian, Dave and I headed up to my pucon favorite, Rio Nevados.  Having a great run I finished off my day with a few slices of pizza and a few beers at Pizza Cala.  This is the Pucon life that we all love so much and I cant wait to have some new epics this year with the rest of the boys when they arrive.  Look forward to a north  update with Ian, Rodrigo and I.....
