  • Before this trip I had about 20 days on the water with a iSUP and only 1-overnighter but TONS of backpacking and wilderness experience.. The board I used is a 10'6" iRocker Cruiser, definitely not designed to be a touring board but it worked for us. There's a link below if you want to check out their products.

    I dug this so much! Your particular blend of intelligence, joy, adventure, and love for Frank all make for a great video to chill with and enjoy your experiences. I smiled “out loud” when you played in the current. I guess I’m trying to convey how big my smile was…😊

    Oh my gosh! I absolutely loved this 4 day adventure on the water by paddle board. You are so brave to do this. So amazing. Every day you found incredible places to camp. Waterfalls, epic views, streams. WOW!!! I am so envious. Frank was having the time of his life. Capturing him swimming under the water... he's like a puppy. Him bringing in that HUGE log holy cow 🐮. All the footage was so spectacular 👍 seriously. I wanted to be out there. Your laughter while enjoying the rapids had me smiling so much. Glad you are doing this living a wonderful adventurous life in nature with Frank by your side. He's a lucky 🐶. Truly my favorite video.❤️❤️❤️

    Hi Amanda!! This video just might be my favorite one you've done. It was such a feel good video. When you said something like "It doesn't matter, we have all day!!" I melted in my seat, ready to go on the journey with you. When I'm out, I have the problem of feeling like I have to get home to do something, when there really isn't anything to do. I'll be thinking of you and your words every time i start rushing myself to go home. I'm glad you and Frank had such a great time!!!! Thank you!!

What a beautiful waterfall...certainly would be cooling. Loved watching the Mergansers doing their thang. Whoops...rocks and fins can be an interesting combo. Glad you fell gracefully and were uninjured. The pictographs were super cool...you wouldn't expect to see that as you paddle. Such an adventurous vid. Glad you made it back to the land...aka the happy place. Cheers to you both!

Judging from the gleeful joy you clearly experienced while floating in current in your life jacket, I can see that multi day River adventures are your next target. This video was absolutely gorgeous - the images you captured from the Fishy Birdy Mornings and evenings were especially breathtaking. Just beautiful! I thank you for sharing your TVP curry pre-packed meal system with us. That looks deelishus and intelligent. Just a thought on managing your boards PSI: forego the gauge and go by feel. Less farting around with single use items. I did not want this video to end. I loved how you told the story, what you chose to share and all of it. Your being at the end = relaxed, grounded, strong, and content. You wear it well. Again, congratulations! And thanks for all the time you put into this video creation.
