Alright, so I got bored the other day and decided to drive a car over my old AT paddle to prove that it can take a beating, and that it will hold up my 3,000 lbs Subaru. Now this is a bit risky because I have an AT 2 that's two years old, has paddled in four countries, and has seen more days on the water than most paddler do in their entire lives.So we broke out the video cameras, and had some

EP is starting a gear donation drive where kayakers and kayak companies donate gear to go to Ugandan kayakers living and working on the White Nile River. These boaters have found a way to support themselves through kayaking, but they don’t have access to proper gear.With the help of the kayaking community we will be able to ship a container FULL of gear to Africa in support of the first ever

Tomorrow, the six-person kayak team is combining forces with a 3-person caving team to execute the mission of our dreams. We are leaving at 8:00 am to drive to the end of the road and then hike in to the town of Tuke that Trip and I previously explored.In Tuke, we will drop into a sinkhole and descend 1500ft in about 1.5 miles to the mouth of the cave.

Friday morning saw host to the annual Canyon Creek Race, and we were blessed with sunshine, hail, 62 paddlers, and very little water. For those who have never paddled Canyon Creek, the river is 5 miles of Class IV-V with the first part of the river being mellow but walled out. The race course starts in the eddy right above the first waterfall and flows through several other waterfalls and

After many of hours of tweaking, Amplify is finally coming together. Amplify is a unique instructional video in two ways. First, it is the only video to include the very basics of playboating and the latest Combo moves. EP breaks down everything from Spins, to Phonics Monkies, to KY's; in order to make all the moves accessible to every level of boater.The second reason is the layout. Amplify

NRS has been working hard with the team over the last year to really tweak the kayaking gear line-up and are launching a ton of new gear that we've been asking for.

There are several milestones in the life of a kayaking video company, that let you know that you've made it. The first is when you create a kayaking video that your friends like.

Teaching at a summer camp can be stressful. Keeping track of all your campers, staying up all night with you’re friends and waking up at 6:30am every morning, campers whining…that being said, the fact that it’s fun every waking second is pretty worthy.Passages is a day camp in Richmond, VA. It’s where I learned to kayak and where I’ve worked for almost 10 years. Every summer I pile into a town

Five Lakes Creek involves 2,000 vertical feet of climbing to the top of Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, then bushwacking 1,000 feet down the backside to the river. Though this may not be the best way to get to the river, our indecisive group: Rush, Charlie, Mac, Merlin and I (behind the camera) were tired of not kayaking and wanted to get on the water.
