Do what you can! by Greg Parker | Aug 22, 2019 | Event Coverage, Events, Rockstar 4.0, WhitewaterOnce in a while, I hear someone say something to the tune of, “I don’t do _________ very often. I suck at it.” My response is always the same, “it doesn’t matter if you are good or bad. It is just about having fun.” As a teacher living in Colorado, I enjoy a very...
Antix Final Thoughts by shanegroves | Aug 21, 2019 | Antix, Creeking, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesWhen 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...
Salt Springs Kayak Camping by Matt Davis | Aug 21, 2019 | Fishing, Kilroy, Kraken, Outdoor AdventuresFor the past few years I’ve planned a kayak camping trip for my Dad and a few family friends. This years trip was quite the adventure! We got an early start Sunday morning so we could stop and fuel up on a big breakfast before driving up the hill. After not quite two...

Whistler 10 years later. by davecrerar | Aug 17, 2019 | Canada, Creeking, Internationalisation, Nirvana, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesWhen 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...
A Look Back Into Living A Dream by teamjk | Aug 16, 2019 | Event Coverage, Events, Family Zone, JAdventures Main Banner, Playboating, Rockstar 4.0, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesThe 2019 ICF Canoe World Championships was an experience that I will never forget. It has been a journey that I started four years ago, when I first put on my dad’s gear and jumped into his whitewater kayak. Flash back to 2016, I took my first freestyle clinic with...
It’s all relative to me by teamjk | Aug 15, 2019 | Nirvana, WhitewaterRemember your first year of paddling? Everything was new, likely it all looked big and scary. You didn’t quite have the river experience you needed to make your way down the river stable in your boat, let alone have a dry hair day. It was all a completely new world....
Breaking down an unknown lake. by Roberto Briones | Aug 15, 2019 | FishingI’ve been kayak fishing for the last 6 years. I came from the bass boat tournament scene and due to personal circumstances I was forced to sell my boat. I wasn’t going to go back to “bank fishing” so I decided to keep some money from the sale of my boat to...
Freestyle in Mexico by David Silk | Aug 14, 2019 | Playboating, Whitewater, WW DisciplinesIt’s a pretty typical start to a kayaking story. Drive to the airport, flight to Mexico City booked. Weasel your way into getting the boat on the plane. From North America, only a couple quick connections on a cheap flight, an overly expensive airport lunch, and...
Why I Still Love The Liska by teamjk | Aug 13, 2019 | Fishing, LiskaIn several of my previous blogs I have talked about my Liska to which I refer to most of the time as “Blue”. I’ve spent close to a year and a half in the Liska with a few other Jackson Kayak models sprinkled in between. As a matter of fact there are 2 newer, shiny...
