Pyranha Kayak's have always been a big part of the progression of kayaking, with innovative designs and the quality care of a smaller self-owned business. We're excited to align ourselves with this company and be part of the Pyranha family. In the last 12 months we've paddled these boats on 4 different continents, using the Machno M, 9R and 9R-L and we are still raving about these kayaks! Check em out.
Barny, Ari and Jordy are stoked to be ambassadors for the best dry gear on the market. Kokatat has always made the best gear and continue do to just that. As Barny puts it, "Forget the rest, and get the BEST". Made in the white-water mecca of California, from the the finest materials... this is definitely the gear we want to use when throwing ourselves out into testing environments.

Earth Sea Sky are a genuine bunch of outdoor enthusiasts who make proven outdoor gear. A large part of kayaking is spent off the river, traveling, scouting, accessing and just generally being on the move and we're grateful to have the support of Earth Sea Sky for taking care of our clothing requirements in testing environments. New Zealand made, so you know its good, and down to earth. Two things we can appreciate and definitely support.

Snapdragon are legit. Simple. The guys are Snapdragon are down-to-earth, passionate and real people. They stand by their product, and why wouldn't you when you produce the best spary-decks available. We rock the Whitewater Amortex EXP, its built to last, keeps you dry and has the extra security of the implosion bar. Everything you need.

Much like all the companies we endorse, Watershed Drybags are another company that haven't compromised quality for profits. Anyone in the whitewater world will tell you the quality of these bags and we whole-heartedly support and promote Watershed. There is no other dry-bag company that even comes close to competing. Not just our preference, but truly the best bags in the world.
