EJ's gets this note from Ben Stookesberry today, WHOA baby!!!

March 15, 2008

Ben Stookesberry, Jesse Coombs hook up with Pedro, David, Chris Zwacky and others in Brazil and find the goods, apparently! I got this note from Ben today...

Eric, We will be in Brazil until the 18th (3 more days), and then we will start unleashing a small avalanche of images. I know there are more than a few folks that want to get a sneek peek at the run down the high volume 107 foot falls and the other crazy Brazilian canyons that we first D´ed this year.

Super Hero Review: Want to feel like a Super Hero?

In terms of ability, the Super Hero is the evolution of river runners that I have been waiting for. The performance hull makes it handle like a dream in the funky cross currents while the release (peaked) decks provides incredible stability when resurfacing off a drop.

In terms of my specialty (international expedition boating), the Super Hero is the true compact do it all machine: run big water with the ease of a fun, or creek it up and go big with the safety, comfort, and boofability of a Rocker. In other words, you are really getting the best of both worlds with the Super Hero. In addition to the on water ability and comfort of the Super Hero, the compact design makes this boat the perfect grab and go boat for tossing in the back of the subi, truck, bus, or mule as the case may be.

If there is anyone out there that wants to do get out and enjoy this springs epic runoff without having to worry about dragging 2 boats along, the Super Heroe is the choice.

I can´t say enough about this boat and if I had any doubts before, a day in the Super Hero was enough to make me a believer!

cheers
