If there is anything that JK symbolizes, it’s FAMILY and ADVENTURE!  I have been part of the JK team since 2005.  Over the years there has been lots of change – boat designs, business structure, team members, etc – BUT, one thing has stayed...

The River… It’s my world, and I don’t want any other. What it hasn’t got is not worth having, and what it doesn’t know is not worth knowing. Lord! the times we’ve had together! Kenneth Grahame Time doesn’t follow a linear...

I recently had the opportunity to paddle my C1 Antix down the Cascades of the Nantahala. It was my first time on the Cascades and my first time creeking in the Antix. The water was high and pushy at 400 cfs, but I instantly felt stable in the boat. It busted threw the...

For a while I’ve had a Karma/UL sitting idle only getting used every once in a while for a race or long section of flat water. Up until now the hardest section I’d paddled it on had been Gore. While gore is a fun run there aren’t many tight, must make moves. A couple...

by Micah Kneidl | Jul 11, 2017 | Antix, Creeking, rivers, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

It was the spring of 2017. I knew it was going to be a big one before the season had even arrived. We had a pretty insane winter with lots of snowfall which led to a really plentiful runoff in the rivers of Idaho. I knew two things – that I may not see another...
