Controlling Motion

Seth Stoenner, 20, gracefully soars off the lip of Spirit Falls. Spirit Falls is a legendary waterfall located on the Little White Salmon River, in Southern Washington. Since its first descent in the early 90's, The Little White Salmon has been recognized as one of the best rivers in the world. The powerful and spiritual character of this waterfall attracts kayakers from all over the globe. "A feeling of weightlessness overwhelms me as I take off from the lip, making time stand still, and bringing me into parallel harmony with nature and it's raw power," Stoenner says.
