Eagle County the paddling destination

So with the new store and all we've been working a lot. It made me realize how lucky we are to be able to get off work and still have such quality whitewater right out our doors. Homestake has been at great levels and Gilman Canyon has been nice and high. Having both to grab in the same evening just makes me feel spoiled. If you want to get your play-boat on it also doesn't get much better than the Vail whitewater park, adjusting those bladders so their just right is like playing a video game. Check out some pics below and a video of all the local stuff too.

See you on the river

Cheers from New Zealand! I have been at the Bliss-Stick factory for the past few days learning the ropes on creating a world-class kayak. Its been a great time here with such a friendly atmosphere that Kiwis are known for. From the tiniest parts that make up the seat, to the production of the boats themselves, everything is done here, which is quite amazing. The factory itself is buried deep in the country on the North Island with the beautiful Rangitiki gorge running five minutes down the road making work and play go hand in hand. Ill hopefully be coming home with a new boat over my shoulder and a trip to remember for life. As for now its back to work.

New store and I finally loaded some video

Some great news for everyone enjoying the Glenwood Whitewater Park this summer. We will be opening on Thursday the 7th of May an additional location just up from the wave in the old Glenwood Canyon Kayak location. We will have demos of every major kayak brand to test at the wave and Stand Up Paddleboards too!



Look forward to seeing everyone down there.



Also put some video together of the below trip report and my first little session in the new Biscuit 55.



Thanks
