Lower Rauma

After some good days of kayaking around the Sjoa area we are finally heading to the mecca of whitewateer in Norway, Voss. The rivers are bigger and pushier here. I got to run the lower Rauma today and it was full on, short section of 2 km. that has some amazing drops and slides! The lines are clear but hard sometimes.  enjoy some shots!
my life in Norway is easy! eat, kayak & sleep! photo aniol serrasolses

Aniol Serrasolses wins the pallars and Trøndelagsrunden extrem races

The last weekend we had the 4th extrem race in the pallars sobira. Great weather, really good water levels and an amazing course!! First day we had the team race where we took the 2nd place together with my brother Gerd and Aixas, I fucked way too many lines slowing them down a lot. The basque team took the first place. 
pallars family!
following aixas down the olla!
sexy ass kayakers!
 The second day we had the finals on the extasis section a 500 meter rapid into a deep gorge. was great to have the finals on such a sick section!!! I won the sprint followed by Alberto and my bro Gerd who had the same time!
stoked with my new paddle!!

 Next race was in Trøndelagsrunden the 2nd norweigan cup where I luckily won with two solid runs.

1st week In Norway!

I have arrived to Norway 6 days ago. I always wanted to visit this country but never had the chance, now together with my good friend Mathias Fossum I am getting to paddle some of the rapids that I always have seen on the videos. I have jumped on his van and we are roadtripping all around norway, during this 6 days we have paddled over 9 rivers and competed in the norweigan cup at trøndelagsrunden where I took the first place with two good runs...The weather is cold but nobody really cares because the kayaking is just too good! enjoy some great pictures from my friend Mathias! loving it here more to come soon!
running the crazy slide of Norgasmo! luckily I had a good line and didn't flip but it was all out of control and super fast!


last drop of what could be one of the steepest sections in norway
another one of the many perfect waterfalls
getting my bow down on the 30 footer
running "big girl" a 1st d by marianne something like 10 years ago. sick drop and section!
