Bavarian Mind Melt w/ Owen Doyle
<p>One of Wyoming’s finest and Team Weiner poster child Owen Doyle joins me to chat about he and Galen Volckhausen’s descents of Bavarian Mind Melt, perhaps one of the hugest single rapids to ever be run in a kayak. While many descents of this caliber are highly calculated and planned out down to every minute detail, this one was...not. Listen in to hear about the descent, some shenanigans, a little whitewater philosophy, and much more from O’Doyle himself.</p><p><br></p><p>VIDEO OF GALEN'S DESCENT: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cegl9vQFmmi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==</p><p><br></p><p>Owen's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/owendoyle__?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</p><p><br></p><p>Mountains 2 Sea Apparel: https://mountains2seaapparel.com/</p><p><br></p>

Tres Saltos w/ Santi Sandoval
<p>Raised in Chile's capital city, Santiago "Santi" Sandoval realized that Pucon, perhaps Chile's finest outdoor mecca, was the place to be if he wanted to take advantage of the highest concentration of high quality whitewater in his corner of the planet. Tres Saltos, one of the area's cleanest and most highly revered big drops, has become one of his favorite local stouts, and he sits down with me to explain why, discuss the line, and otherwise bestow his knowledge of the rapid and its history upon us. </p><p><br></p><p>Rivers Lakes & Oceans Website:</p><p><a href="https://riverslakesoceans.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://riverslakesoceans.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Mountains 2 Sea Apparel Website:</p><p><a href="https://mountains2seaapparel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://mountains2seaapparel.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>(Some of the) paddlers mentioned:</p><p><br></p><p>-Domingo Sandoval Garcia</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/do_re_mingo?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/do_re_mingo?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Kilian Ivelic</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kilianivelic?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/kilianivelic?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzI</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kilianivelic?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">xNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Knox Hammack</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/knoxhammack?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/knoxhammack?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Evan Garcia</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/egthekilla?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/egthekilla?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzI</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/egthekilla?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">xNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Trent McCrerey</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/trentmccrerey?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/trentmccrerey?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Ian Garcia</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/iangarciapucon?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/iangarciapucon?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzI</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/iangarciapucon?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">xNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Dylan Clancy</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/_dolkon_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/_dolkon_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Pedro Astorga</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pedroastorga?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/pedroastorga?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Gerd Serrasolses</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gerdserrasolses?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/gerdserrasolses?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Eric Parker</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eparkermedia?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/eparkermedia?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Andrew Oxley</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrew_oxley_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/andrew_oxley_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
