Hello paddling friends,

I am immensely proud to invite you to join Ben Stookesberry and myself on the journey that is No Big Names 4: Hotel Charley. This is a uniquely profound film of first descents run in Central and South America: Antioquia Colombia, Minas Gerais Brazil and Chiapas Mexico. Hotel Charley began as a two month expedition to tell the story behind the inimitability of each country visited. I think Ben describes it best when he said “this is probably the craziest part… I simply choose to revisit the two hardest and most spectacular rivers in two of the most dangerous places on earth. Placing one descent on each side of a month long expedition to still unknown canyons of interior Brazil seemed like a fitting centerpiece to the most spectacular kayaking expedition I could dream up. I am still amazed that it all came to fruition."

Please join us during our month long tour beginning April 21st with the World Premier in Hood River OR. The tour schedule can be found at:
