Liska on the Coosa River by Eric Atkins | Dec 21, 2018 | Fishing, Liska, ReviewsThe Liska has continued to impress me in 2018.

THE ROCKSTAR 4.0 ROCKS!! by Jacob Walker | Sep 8, 2018 | Playboating, Reviews, Rockstar 4.0, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesThis weekend I got to paddle the new RockStar 4.0, and it really does live up to the hype! My first impressions just from sitting in it was that there is a little bit more volume in the middle of the boat because the knees are raised up higher. Personally, I think...

First Impressions of the Rockstar 4.0 by katelyngreen | Aug 5, 2018 | Playboating, Reviews, Rockstar 4.0, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesThis past weekend I got the chance to try out the new Rockstar 4.0 on the Dryway section of the Deerfield River. I was a bit apprehensive at first to try out a new playboat design, because I have just been so in love with the 2016 Rockstar. The 2016 Rockstar made...
