FLOWSTATE S2, E6: Rio Telire
Deep in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica, the Rio Telire flows through remote indigenous villages and thick jungle. No kayakers have attempted to run it due to the inaccessible nature of its location.
From above, the Rio Telire appears to be fun, classic Costa Rican whitewater—boogie and boulder gardens—similar to other rivers that have been paddled, like the Rio Chirripó. But with zero beta on the Telire, Brendan Wells, Todd Wells and Brian Burger don’t quite know what they’re getting into.

FLOWSTATE S2, E5: The Killey
Glacial runoff and rains make paddling the Killey unpredictable. Despite solid beta from past paddlers, Brendan L Wells and the crew make a point to scout the stouts and portage when the margin for error is too narrow. And sometimes those portages get a little painful…

FLOWSTATE: The Killey - Teaser
The progression of a two-hour portage: Eddy out. Bushwack through alders. Find some wasps. Bushwack some more. Run out of water.
Don’t worry, it’s not all portage and pain on the Killey. Don’t miss FLOWSTATE Episode 5 dropping Thursday.

FLOWSTATE - The Bremner Teaser

Everyone loves a good redemption story, but can Brendan L Wells, Eric Parker, and Jay Mahan pull it off?
Find out Thursday in Episode 4 of FLOWSTATE.

FLOWSTATE S2, Ep2: Skolai Creek
Six days, six portages—Skolai Creek is a kayaker’s hopscotch of runnable rapids vs. massive, unrunnable waterfalls. With warm temps actively melting the glaciers feeding into this trib, high flows on day one force them to portage more than paddle.
But if Brendan Wells and his buddies can pull off a full descent from the top to Nizina Lake, it’ll be one of the best sections of whitewater they have ever run.

FLOWSTATE - Skolai Creek Teaser
“It's about to get real Alaska on us right now. It was kind of just a normal river trip. Now it’s an Alaskan river trip.” – Eric Parker
You don’t want to miss the second episode of FLOWSTATE Season 2 coming Thursday!
FLOWSTATE: Devil's Canyon - Teaser
A paddler walks into a bar in Talkeetna, Alaska and says he’s going to run Devil’s Canyon of the Susitna… in a kayak.
The crowd roars, and the open-mic emcee says, “We don’t know what’s gonna happen to him…”
Find out Thursday in the first episode of FLOWSTATE Season 2!

Flowstate BONUS Episode: High Tension Sahalie Falls
Seeing things from new perspectives isn't new for Ari DeLashmutt or Galen Volckhausen. But this project was certainly a fresh (and nauseating) perspective for both athletes seeking to find their #Flowstate above and on this magical waterfall.
After a year or two of talking about combining these two sports at Sahalie, the day came when the sun was shining bright, water levels were perfect and both Galen and Ari were in the right headspace to make this dream come alive.

Flowstate Episode 6: Alaskan Paradise - Trailer
This river is truly a hidden gem. Most creeking in Alaska is a bit manky and we tend to spend time on running and exploring big water runs around the state. This creek is definitely an exception with nice granite boulder gardens for miles. Plus, the fishing wasn't bad either!
The final episode of the Flowstate series "Alaskan Paradise" drops Tuesday. Catch up on the first season here: http://bit.ly/nrsflowstate
