Kids & Kayaking- U.S. National Whitewater Center

I started kayaking at a young age, around eight years old.  Back then kids boats were scarce and youth paddling equipment was almost nonexistent.   Over the years with more youth involvement, youth specific gear became available and younger individuals began to make a scene in the kayaking world.  Recently I was able to travel to the U.S. National Whitewater Center and paddle with some young rippers.  Upon arrival, the younger boaters were rock/paper/scissoring over the small Jed and Rebel.  Off the van and into the water, Pyranha boats were occupied with a waiting line for most of the day.  A few of the young local shredders  showed me their skills and favorite lines down the different channels.  It is awesome to see where the sport is going and more youth involvement.  Big thanks to the U.S. National Whitewater Center and all of the locals for coming out to paddle with Pyranha.  Below are a few pics from the day:
