The Karma Traverse is my first JK kayak I’ve owed. After much research and talk to friends who are far better kayakers than I, I’ve decided to purchase this utilitarian beast. I’ve dragged this this kayaking from Idaho to Alaska for the ultimate adventures. The Traverse handles everything thing from 1-2nd Canyon on Sixmile Creek, to fishing and camping trips only accessible by boats. I absolutely love the versatility of this kayak, looking forward to the he next adventure in the Traverse.
