Sponsors - Gear We Use and Trust



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. Currently we’re paddling a combination of the Scorch and ReactR.

We 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. Made in the white-water mecca of California, from the finest materials... this is definitely the gear we want to use when throwing ourselves out into testing environments.

Kober paddles have been supporting us with paddles since 2017. High performance paddles based out of Germany with a slalom background but very much focused on whitewater. Both Ari and Jordy elect to use the Vulcano EFC (epoxy foam core) as a 2 piece split, which is much easier for travel but still delivers the highest level of performance for a paddle required for class V kayaking.

KAVU is rad, and thats all you need to know really. From the founder/owner Barry, who sticks to his original ideals in the face of the continual squeeze of capitalism through to Tyler and Dan who are the guys who we directly deal with… everyone is honest, hard-working and just generally are in it to have a good time. We will continue to try and emulate the KAVU way and keep the good times rolling.

Small store feel and philosophy, large store range and expertise. It been wild seeing this company grow over the last 10 years. Julz, Rocky, Daniel, Anthony and the rest of the crew are full or knowledge, ideas and stoke. We’re fortunate to have their support and appreciate it endlessly.
