Huge thank you to Jameson Redding for putting together this awesome video and giving me a chance to talk about some of the basic gear I use for spearfishing out here in Northern California. Everyone has different ways of doing things so I encourage you to experiment...

I recently received the following email from my mother, who just finished helping out with an Intro to Whitewater course with the Philadelphia Canoe Club, where many of her students were using Zens. The boat choice was a change from the Funs of recent years, and she...

Every year Paddle In Pink hosts an event on the Pigeon River in TN to raise money for the Live Like Maria Foundation. The event consists of a group of women all slicing and playing their way down the river and for the Southeast, this is not a common scene which makes...

I recently fulfilled a long-time dream of mine: competing for Team USA at the 2019 ICF Freestyle World Championships in both the float and squirt boat classes. While I competed in both classes in Argentina as well, 2019 was the first time I made the team on my own...

Years ago I took my drytops to a shop when I needed a neck gasket repair. It usually took a week to get it back and I had to use an old leaky top as a backup. Then I bought a block of mini cell foam, carved a jig, and started repairing my own gaskets over night. If...

With around 135% snow pack in the mountains, high levels have been sustained across the state. Many rivers and playspots, that are usually only good a few weeks a year, are still flowing now in mid-late July. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do a lot of...

The best kayak for might not be the best for you! We all know that the Jackson Coosa was built for small rivers and moving water, and that the Big Rig was built for stability in big water and to stand and fish out of. Also that the Kraken was designed for offshore...

You’ve been waiting for this, you unload your kayak and head out. You have your favorite baits tied on and you head straight to the bank because that’s what you always do. I refer to it as a “milk run.” But today nobody is home, no bites, no activity. It could be a...

River Run Park in Denver was completed last spring, but it didn’t run in 2018 because it was a low water year. After a snowy winter, the South Platte was running 800 cfs the other day, so I finally went test out the new spots. For beginner kayakers, this park...

Whats a good boat without a good skirt? Wet at best, dangerous at worst. There are a lot of good skirts out there and everyone has a personal bias or preference towards one particular brand or another. My favorite sprayskirt for many decades now has...
