Man what I wouldn't give to meet Rob Lesser and shake his hand... Its gotta be the craziest feeling ever for him to see what the river he pioneered has grown into directly as a result of his courage and unbelievable paddling skill back in 77. Still seems like the most humble and easy going guy ever. What an absolute legend! Great video Steve
You should come to the North Fork Championship when they have it again, that's where I was introduced to him. At one point I just knocked on his front door at his home in Boise and just sat down with him the best hour of my life, I learned so much. What a legend! My dad and Evan Garcia's dad Mike went on some trips with him,. Mike told me this is the guy you need to talk to.
Great job on this piece, Steve. I was paddling up on the South Fork a couple of weeks before the championship this spring and have been meaning to go look for some decent video coverage ever since. I'm delighted to have found your report. Your interview with Rob Lesser gives historical context to this insanely challenging event. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Once the paddling season dies down, I hope more people get to watch it.
Thanks, Nicholas I had fun with this one. I had video from two years of covering this event, but it was the Rob Lesser interview that made me decide to put it all together. These kayakers are so amazing too!

My friend, ,Marc Alexander, and I pioneered Ocean Wave Kayaking with plastic Hollowform kayaks back in 1975.
