Top 5 gear picks from CKS and why.

http://www.coloradokayak.com/Liquid-Logic-Jefe-Grande?sc=2&category=965

The Jefe Grande is an awesome creek boat, boofs well, paddles fast and has plenty of volume to resurface fast.

The AT2 Superlite is the best feeling paddle I have ever used. Comfortable and powerful.

The Sweet Fullface is the most protective helmet out there. With carbon fiber construction, I trust it to keep my head safe.

Astral Green Jacket keeps things safe when s*&t hits the fan.

Although I am more of a creek boater, this is my favorite playboat by far, loops huge, goes big on waves and is very well balanced.

Other Info:

 

"Well, Ladies I enjoy long walks on the beach with my true love. Romantic moonlight nights in the mountains with my true love. Watching chick flicks with my true love crying and eating a pint of ice cream. Taking my true love down the tallest waterfall I can find.  You thought my true love was a girl? haha My one and only true love is my kayak. You should have known that by now."
Other things I like:

 

Sipping yerba mate with my best friend and Huckfest Partner Jake Sakson either on the way to a sick day of big mtn. skiing or kayaking, either way.
Editing video when I am bored. It helps me be creative.

 

 

Taking epic photos of a nice sunset.

 

 

Kayaking with people who are way better than me, it makes me push myself.

 

 

Driving fast cars.

 

 

Jumping off tall stuff either in my kayak or on my skis.

 

 

Waking up to a warm day in Carbondale where the possibilities are endless.

 

 

Filming my friends doing their various sports.
