We'll launch from the dock shortly after 10am, please arrive 15-20 minutes early to get geared up. Demos will have to be shared between everyone. If there is a specific boat you would like to try, please drop us a line so we can try and accomodate your request. Not all models will be available to try.

just drove through Klamath Falls Oregon on Sunday and the upper lake water trails looked awesome! Stop and say hi to Mike at The Ledge in downtown Klamath Falls if you’re in the area!

Looks like paddle season is upon us! Our tree is budding with its beautiful paddles. Time to come pick out your kayak and gear! The Ledge - 1012 Main Street, Downtown Klamath Falls.

Drysuits anyone? Have a killer deal (~25% off) going through select dealers on new suits from Level Six that just have last year’s logo. If you have been on the fence on a drysuit but know you need one, you can DM me and I’ll connect you with participating shops that can help!

A game changer then and now!

In 1984, Rockgard® tip protection was invented to extend the life of wooden canoe paddles. Since then, Rockgard® continues to be the gold standard in shielding paddles against damage that occurs from normal use.

👉 This proprietary technology, derived from the same material as inline skate wheels, maintains the integrity of the paddle, seals against moisture, and absorbs shock in the most vulnerable areas - the tips and edges.

Just returned from a very special 1/2 week of instruction from Liquid Fusion Kayaking in Fort Bragg CA. Jeff and Cate were wonderful hosts and the experience was exactly what I needed and wanted. Still riding the high and excited for more! Wrote up a road journal entry to share a bit more detail and have something to look back upon some day. If you have ever wanted to paddle the sea and explore sea caves and rock gardens with absolute experts you have to reach out to Liquid Fusion Kayaking !

Jim Snyder is a legend in paddlesports and I have been lucky enough to get to know him a bit during his award winning design work with Emotion Kayaks in the 2000s. I recently stumbled across a blog he wrote on the forward stroke in a kayak and enjoyed his deep take on it and wanted to share! Thanks Jim for all of the personal support this year (it means the world to me) and the gifts you have given to paddlesports over the many years!

Stroke Theory Mar 8, 2014 | More Info What follows is a discussion of my ideas about stroke dynamics. It’s an evolving science with abundant subjective input and assertions ruling the day. My ideas come from studying what makes powerful strokes and what it takes to paddle hard all day- in essence-...
