Mada photo, week 1

This is a quick gathering of photos from our first week in Madagascar, this place has been amazing blowing us all away and absolutely incredible destination for any expedition kayaker looking to push the limits.


tyler on the put in falls to Mazy


Tyler on the second Lily falls, Tyler was the third one to give the falls a go, only a minute before most of the group along with a gathering of locals watched as Rush and Ian flez off the monst two tiered 75 foot falls.


Ian in the rapids between the two Lily falls, an awso,e section of great class 5 reminding us greatly of the NF of the Payette back home.

Lane hanging on the bridge at the take out to the Mazy, we were pretty psyched on the ability to takeout with road access



Lane Jacobs on round two of the Chutes du Lily, fired up for revenge, we were all able to run this drop atleast once and some even went back for a second round. very cool to see the drop with higher flow.

Tyler Bradt giving an alternative line on the lower lily, infront of 150 locals.


Tyler on the Mazy 30 footer


Ian on the lower falls of the Mazy.

The group has been amazingly psyched with the quality of falls and slides we have seen. only having been in the country for a week now we have already found 4 amazing sections of river and 4 large waterfalls along with kilometers of great rapids and slides. We have now moved south in search of more drops and very appealing drainages, that will keep us busy for the next bit, of which a few include some nights out in the bush.
