North Fork Championship 2022
I returned to the North Fork Championship for my 2nd time at the biggest event in Kayaking, this time as a local resident. The third weekend in June came quickly this year. Every day it got busier and busier with everyone showing up for the North Fork Championships....
REVIEW: Jackson Rockstar V
The new and improved Jackson Rockstar is by far the best playboat I've ever paddled. With the square bow of the 2016, and the stern volume of the 4.0, it creates an incredible mix of easy paddling and big air. There’s nothing more to be said other than it is the best...

REVIEW: Pyranha Scorch
Spring time is here in Colorado, and with it comes the two things we’ve been waiting for all winter; the water, and the new Pyranha Scorch! The very fine people at Rocky Mountain Adventures just got their Scorch Large demo in and they were nice enough to let me take...
REVIEW: Kokatat Hustler PFD
Most PFDs for kayaking are too bulky or are in the way most of the time. Well not anymore! I first tried out the Hustle, by Kokatat, at M-Wave last October and absolutely loved it. It was the perfect vest for playboating or lower consequence days because of its low...
