Preferred Products:
Tim Kelton's Top 5 CKS Gear Picks:
Sweet Prophecy Gore Tex Drytop - Super dry and very breathable like you would expect from any Gore-Tex dry top. Every small pocket, water drain, and gripper rubber just seem more and more well thought out the more I use it. In the end, its super dry, fits great.
Werner Sho-Gun Paddle - Great surface area for taking powerful strokes, just like the Powerhouse, but with the added flotation of a foam core blade.
Sweet Rocker Fullcut and Fullface helmets - I've used both of these helmets over the years for both skiing and kayak. They offer amazing fit, light weight, and most of all, good protection when you need it.
IR Union Suit - After four years in my old one, just upgraded to the newer version and it only got warmer!
Watershed Fuita and Ocoee Dry bags - Still have yet to find anything which tops the watershed. Anything I need to stay dry in a worst case scenario always goes in the watershed bag. The Fuita's for behind my seat as float bags and the Ocoee for my camera.

I started kayaking after finishing an Ironman triathlon where I realized 6 miles into the marathon that I forgot my socks. The next day we wondered into CKS to inquire about camping around BV and realized that I wouldn’t need to use my torn up feet kayaking. Ever since I have been completely hooked and every year I try to boat new rivers and see new places. The beauty with kayaking is that it can be just as amazing to try a different line on a run you have done many times in your own back yard as going around the world to a new remote location.
