As a young angler growing up and even into most of my career as a tournament angler I never made the leap into the world of fishing electronics. I spent years fishing only what I could see without ever knowing exactly what I was paddling over. By using maps and search...

Class II Gets a Bad Rap

by JK Team | Sep 12, 2019 | Creeking, River Running, Uncategorized, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

Class II gets a bad rap a lot of the time. It’s hard to find people eager to rally after-work laps on the local “beginner’s” stretch. Take the Powerhouse section of the Snoqualmie for instance: a half mile of the best pool-drop class II around. With a wide riverbed...

What to Bring on a Remote Trip

by JK Team | Sep 7, 2019 | Creeking, River Running, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

The best weekend of the summer has just passed and with it the world premier of Too High, a kayaking film put together by Joe Rea Dickens and Jamie Conn. But first back to the weekend. The Clifden beach party weekend is the highlight of the not so packed Irish summer...

Flatwater

by JK Team | Jul 28, 2014 | Journey, Recreational/Touring

I broke my back 4 years ago. After a year of physical therapy I was able to walk again. I still have weakness in my left leg and my left ankle only has so much movement. It was clear that I had climbed my last mountain. After trying out one of my friends kayaks on a...
