For the past three years I have had the honor to work with some of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we as Americans are inherently gifted, to be who we want to be and live how we want to live. The organization, Team River Runner, believes in providing…

A Frosty Beginning Each New Year’s Day paddlers from across Colorado and beyond converge on the banks of the Colorado River, near Glenwood Springs, CO to ring in the new year doing what they love most – kayaking.

The Jackson Kayak Big Tuna was an excellent choice for a recent group paddling adventure including fishing & camping on Tennessee’s beautiful Buffalo River. Mike Tossing planned a river adventure for 14 paddlers including my son. We shared a 21 mile spectacular water trail adventure while trees changed their color for fall. My son’s first camping…
