Seth Warren enjoying the beauty of the Colorado River<\/p><\/div>\n

When my good friend Seth Warren<\/a> asked me to standup paddle gnarly rapids, 225 miles down the Colorado River, and live in the wild Grand Canyon country for 16 days, I wasn’t sure I should go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But I knew it was a trip of a lifetime.<\/div>\n
Not just anybody is allowed to do it – you have to put your name in for a “lottery” and some people wait years for their names to be pulled.<\/div>\n
The river was running it’s highest in thirty years and the rapids were super crazy, and it was awesome!<\/div>\n
We took some Go-Pro cameras with us and documented as much as we could. \u00a0Some of the footage was used in The Paint Shop TV show and you can watch it here: \u00a0(Please leave a comment if you like it)<\/div>\n

Fred Swegles of the Orange County Register Newspaper wrote an article about the expedition, and you can read it here: \u00a0SURFER’S GRAND CANYON RUN AN ADVENTURE LIKE NO OTHER<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s also been written about in the January 2012 Issue of STANDUP PADDLE MAGAZINE – a 6 page spread of photos and story written by Seth Warren.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The March 2012 issue of STANDUP JOURNAL magazine also featured photos of the trip.<\/div>\n
