by Chris Ritchie | Nov 12, 2019 | Fishing, Fishing Instruction, Freshwater, Freshwater Fishing

15 years ago, when I was a teen and really started going out on the rivers alone, it was a different world than it is now. You rarely ever saw a kayak. I don’t think that I had ever seen one on the water at all. Only in stores. Everyone, including myself, used an old...

by Adam Swett | Sep 6, 2019 | Video, Whitewater

The roar of Steelhead Falls on Washington’s White Salmon River reverberates off the basalt walls of the beautiful river canyon, this is what the impact of American Whitewater feels like. It is hard for anyone to look at a free-flowing wilderness river and not...

Solo run at high flows (Leitzaran)

by teamjk | Mar 26, 2019 | Internationalisation, Spain

Paddling alone has always been a big tabu in the kayaking community. It is dangerous and scary, mostly because if something happens to you nobody will know, so nobody will come to help. But sometimes it is the only option to paddle. I’m from the Basque Country,...
