Like so many others out there, the 9r has quickly become my favorite kayak of all time. I have had a lot of fun taking it on harder and harder whitewater, and it performs beautifully, from class II to class V+! Here is a quick gopro edit of a sweet weekend on the Raven Fork …

Columbia River Gorge: Rain, Rivers, and Demshitz
I found no shortage of any of these things on a recent trip to the gorge. After a long drought in California and a few days of good work I had a little money in my pocket and no reason to hang around home so I decided a quick trip up to the PNW was …

First Impressions of the 9R
I’ve been back in the UK a few weeks now and have had the chance to get out in the 9R a few times. Long story short: it is my new favourite boat. After a day at CIWW I was sold on it as a great boat for messing around in on easy whitewater but …

Meghalaya 2014
This year’s season in Meghalaya has been absolutely ridiculous. For the past two years we’ve ended up paddling into steep gorges with crazy geography that for the most part have offered up awesome adventures, but often not that great whitewater. This year has delivered on the awesome adventures, but now we’re really starting to make …

Video: 9r on the Green River, North Carolina
