Jackson Team Spirit Jackson Kayak - People often ask what you get by being part of a Sponsored Team and the answer is not a great deal materially apart from a yak that I love to use.

Sam, Anna Wagner, and Evan Smith were planning a quick mid-week trip up to Canada to paddle the quintessential Ottawa River, and whatever else was flowing?!

The first section of whitewater is class five and would be considered some of the best whitewater in the region if it weren't immediately upstream of the horrendous gradient-loss that the creek cascades into, just before meeting the Crystal River near the Beaver Pond in Marble. The last pitch of the creek is stunning. While scouting from a few hundred feet above it looks irresponsible, and once down in the sheer walled canyon the size of the drops becomes apparent.
