Preferred Products:
Top 5 gear picks from CKS:
Project 52: In my opinion the best playboat out there right now. Super loose hull, fast on waves, goes big in holes, and super fun for running rivers. What more could you ask for.
AT2 Flexi: The best paddle I have ever used. Nice flex for smooth playing. Good on the shoulders too.
Snapdragon Lip Locked Skirt: The driest skirt I have ever used.
IR Union Suit: The one piece of gear that I wear year round.
H2O Audio: Playboating with tunes is just better.
