For the past six months, I have been paddling Jackson Kayak’s Antix in the southeast and recently the Pacific Northwest. I learned to paddle on rivers like the Chattooga and Ocoee, and as I progress in the sport, I continue to have a lot of fun on class III rivers....

Antix Love

by crystalgustin | Aug 1, 2017 | Antix, Creeking, Internationalisation, Reviews, United States, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

For some, it might be hard to trust a review by a team member. I get it. I can wholeheartedly tell you that I love the Antix but probably not for the reasons that first spring to mind. When this boat was in the works, far before production, I was so excited to have...

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...

You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view, as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted, but to see it, you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths.” -John Wesley Powell- To say I have spent a good portion of my...

With recent rain storms and more daylight in the Southeast, after work kayaking trips have become my new favorite past-time. I certainly enjoy full day paddle sessions on the weekends, but my days off tend to be sporadic and I often see my friends go off to the river...
