Keep It Clean by teamjk | Aug 9, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing, riversEvery weekend I tend to get a hard time from my buddies because my kayaks and my truck are pretty clean.

Grilování by teamjk | Jul 24, 2017 | Czech Republic, InternationalisationPopis rybaření z kajaku jsme všichni četli mnohokrát. Mnohokráte jsme také mohli číst, vidět jak velká ryba se podařila chytit z toho či onoho kajaku. A rozhodně je to super, ale nejen adrenalinem je člověk živ, tak mi dovolte zavzpomínat na poslední návštěvu Švédska,...

Jak na těžkou vláčku kterou chytám velmi rád, tak na vábničku s trsem rousnic nebo rybou. Je to taky hlavně kvůli tomu aby i český rybář viděl, že toto odvětví (sumcařina) kajaku není...
How To : Controlled Descent of Jared’s Knee by teamjk | Jul 19, 2017 | Creeking, Instructional, Karma, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesHey All, Controlled descent is a big part of kayaking. I try to express to my students how important it is to take control of the rapid, slow down, catch eddies, and pick your next move. Pointing down stream and going fast is fun, but once you turn around and look up...
Lessons Learned from the Jackson Journey by teamjk | Jul 18, 2017 | Journey, Recreational/Touring, ReviewsLooking back as a kid growing up on the coast of Maine it seems like a natural progression becoming a sea kayaker during my teenage years.

2 years since the mustard river by teamjk | Jul 15, 2017 | WhitewaterThe Gold King Mine released 3 million gallons of toxic waste into the Animas River about 2 years ago.
