Spring Reflections

by Anna Bruno | Jun 27, 2014 | Whitewater

Exactly a year ago I ran some of the hardest whitewater of my life. It was a semi-intentional decision, influenced in part by the right time, the right place, and the right group of people. I had just finished a year of working for World Class Academy, where I spent...

by Jessie Stone | Jun 13, 2014 | Whitewater

Although I have been coming to Colorado to compete since 2000, this is the first year I made it to Buena Vista for the CKS Paddlefest. The altitude of nearly 8,000ft almost killed me the first day on the water – I was coming from sea level and acclimatizing takes at...

by JK Fans | May 30, 2014 | Fishing

First off I need to say how highly impressed I am with my cuda 12. stable, fast, and a blast to fish from. I’ve had it for almost a month now and if I could I would fish 24-7 365 days out of it. My realization of how perfect the cuda is to fish from really set...
