“Ironically as they paddle more and more whitewater, their reward circuitry (for dopamine) dulls, which makes the easier runs less satisfying and drives them to still harder runs and bigger drops to compensate.”
Finding dopamine satisfaction:

I haven’t taken a packraft down a river since early June. Why the heck am I packrafting in Vermont anyway? Kayaking has taught me many things, but I’m better in the packraft. First time I’ve made it down the whole section of the New Haven Ledges (IV+) without a swim or a portage. Never tried to plastic boat it. Looking forward to coming up to AK next summer.
Took the packraft on the family trip to Italy…
Part I: some city walking and packrafting in medium swells (the footage doesn’t really justify that)
Part II: more walking, packrafting under a cool bridge, in a cave, and some jellyfish
The new go pro is more user friendly, and has much better battery life.

Luc Mehl is now battle rolling regularly in his thigh straps. Still, he wants to get a kayak in part to improve his paddling skills.
He’s also hucking big drops with beautiful boofs:
I think this is my last video of the season.
Gerard, that’s some pretty impressive running with a rolled up spraydeck 
Good song too.
4 days walking and packrafting exploration of the remote Wilderness Coast in far eastern Victoria.
Not much freshwater for drinking, ticks, snakes and scorpions, loads of bird species, lots of flowering going on and even a rare spotting of a Dingo on the beach. Wicked trip.

The Karamea River runs through one of the largest, relatively intact natural areas left in New Zealand, Kahurangi National Park. The Karamea is a true wilderness adventure that lacks any road access and for most its length, even trails. The river is flanked by limestone cliffs, huge granite boulders and a lush mosaic of nakau palms, giant rata, a variety of beech trees. The Karamea is home to giant eels, great spotted kiwis, blue ducks and legions of sand flies.
The Waiau River in New Zealand’s North Canterbury rises in the Spenser Mountains and flows south and east for 105 miles to enter the Pacific Ocean. Its generally hilly drainage basin, 1,270 square miles in area, borders the Canterbury Plains to the south. Packrafters can easily access the Waiau’s upper gorges from Lewis Pass via a pleasant tramp along the St James Walkway.
There is a Maori legend associated with this river and the Clarence. According to the story the Waiau-uha (Waiau) and the Waiau-toa (Clarence) were respectively male and female spirit lovers living in the Spenser Mountains. For some reason they were transformed into rivers, the sources of which were not far apart. When warm rains melted the snows and caused floods, it was said that the parted lovers were lamenting and that the rivers were swollen with their tears.
