Friday was a great day for big-water brave wave, right here in Rock Island! Enjoy the photos of Team JK paddlers Isaac Holden, Keegan Grady, Clay, EJ, and I.

NuCanoe: Another Satisfied Customer! To this point I have primarily used my NuCanoe for hunting on the North Canadian River.

Fully loaded the NuCanoe flew through 4 to 5 inches of water and at times maybe even less. Even for a novice the NuCanoe was extremely easy to maneuver.

CKS Blog: 2009 Dagger Nomad Whitewater Kayak Review The Nomad has been the choice boat for top paddlers all over the world for the past 5 years, and is still at the top of its field in safety and performance.

Team Swain SE Boating: Earthquakes And Dam Breaks In Costa Rica I consider yesterday one of the luckier days of my life. Had any small part of the day gone different I might not be alive right now. I arrived into Costa Rica on Monday and spent the past four days guiding a group of NOC guests down various sections of the Sarapique river.
