Deep Creek, Idaho

by Micah Kneidl | Oct 25, 2019 | Creeking, Internationalisation, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

Here in Southern Idaho, we don’t really have much in the way of creeks and runnable waterfalls. Most of our rivers are bigger and relatively high volume. I guess that’s why for a few weeks during the spring and fall, many of the locals drive out to the...

Reminiscing on Dinkey Creek Waterfalls

by dianegaydos | Sep 23, 2019 | Creeking, Internationalisation, JK Team Posts, United States, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

My husband Daniel and I welcomed our first child into the world almost 4 months ago. Though we’ve both been able to get back out on the water several times already, the lack of rain in the Southeast currently has left me reminiscing over past seasons. I’ve been...

This summer, I had the distinct pleasure of taking a short trip to one of my all-time favorite sections of whitewater: Oh Be Joyful Creek in Crested Butte, Colorado. We arrived to warm weather and a considerable amount of intact snow still in the headwaters, which is...

No Attain No gain

by tommypiros | Aug 29, 2019 | Creeking, Karma Unlimited, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

This year I decided to make it a goal to paddle a longboat regularly for overall training and race as many events as possible. This is new to me because I’ve never really been a big fan of racing or longboats as opposed to more freestyle, creeking and just...

Antix Final Thoughts

by shanegroves | Aug 21, 2019 | Antix, Creeking, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

When I first saw the Antix at Gauley Fest when it was being prototyped I was a little shocked by its looks. I mean, it wasn’t exactly sleek looking. It wasn’t slicey. The hull was flat but with weird rocker. It didn’t look fast. It looked way playful and was supposed...

Whistler 10 years later.

When I first moved to Canada a group of buddies from the Ottawa river put me in their station wagon and carted me across the country to see what it had to offer. This is one of the main reasons I decided to call this country home. We made this trek across the country...

Once upon a time, a paddling dudette and a paddling dude decided to take their relationship to new heights. Get married? No, they already tied the knot. Get a dog? Nah, you probably already read about Oliver the Adventure Corgi in the Jackson Kayak Karma RG. They...

Every year we make our way through the Colorado mountains and end up in Vail for the GoPro Mountain Games. It is arguable the largest and most fun outdoor event of the year as it is filled with all types of sports, great spectating and vendor villages, and tons of...

I hadn’t been to the Upper Yough in…well…I don’t really want to say how many years. Let’s just say it’s been a very long time. I was not surprised when it proved to be as incredible as I remembered. The weekend started at...
