Everyone wants to get better at boating and progress their skills to be able to boat bigger and different rivers. There are at least a hundred different...

Bailey fun in my Antix C-1. by sethchapelle | Dec 17, 2018 | Antix, C1 Outfitting, Creeking, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesI have been having so much fun in my Antix this year. The combination of playfulness with river running/creek ability brings a huge smile to my face every time I paddle it. I love to splat, squirt, pivot and boof my way down the river. And the Antix is an awesome tool...
Antix vs Mixmaster, the Slicey Boat Dilemma by dianegaydos | Dec 16, 2018 | Antix, Internationalisation, MixMaster, United States, WhitewaterSlicey boats have made a huge comeback! First available in the 1990s, these boats are back for round 2. A few people are dusting off their old beat up boats that live under the garage, but most are searching for the newest, best designs. Why paddle a slicey boat? The...

I am never going to do that one Class 5 river that’s been on my bucket list since I started kayaking. Probably never going to get that massive clean air loop or do some trick that most people can’t pronounce, not going to go on any...

The power of repetition by Rafael Ortiz | Sep 16, 2018 | Antix, Internationalisation, Mexico, WhitewaterHere is the deal: kayaking is not a repetition sport. I mean, only when playboating you try moves over and over again, but river-running… you really only hit that one move once a day. You see, I come from skateboarding. When I was a kid I would play...
