Rahul’s Noli Gorge Anitx

Rahual Subramanian is a local paddler in the Tri-Cities area in Tennessee and a member of the Appalachian Paddling Enthusiasts club. He started kayaking whitewater this past January and has come a long way in eight months. His determination to progress safely while getting out on the river as much as possible is inspiring to many of the local paddlers in our area. He was recently honored with the “APE’s Rookie of the Year” award for his many personal first descents and paddling progression throughout this paddling season.

I’ve had the pleasure to make several river trips with him this year. We recently made a Nolichucky Gorge run together and he got to try out the Jackson Kayak Antix M from the Jackson Action Wagon on the run. He had a blast surfing Jaws, running creek lines, rock spins, boofing, combat rolls, and rock grinds. #JKAntix

I’ll let Rahul’s video highlight all the fun we had on this run…
