Ten Things I Love About The TOXAWAY – The Secret’s Out

The Toxaway River is a little piece of California tucked deep into the woods of North Carolina. Pat Keller takes us on a tour of this South East gem, explaining what makes it one of his favorite rivers.

The VUOJATÄDNO Project

Near the border of Norway and Sweden lies a remote chain of lakes connected by never-before paddled whitewater. After years of wondering what the outflows held, in July 2017 Sebastian Gründler and Ulrich Kittelberger decided it was time to find out.

Profile – ANTON PRIJON SENIOR

Anton Prijon Senior might be the most influential man in modern whitewater history. The founder of Prijon Kayaks was a Word Champion, fathered a World Champion, paddled through the transition from folding boats to modern kayaks, manufactured some of the first blow-molded plastic boats, and forever changed the shape of the industry by creating one of the first international kayak factories. Prijon’s life story is a tale of success and chance you have to read to believe.
