Dagger Nomad 8.5 Kayak: The Nomad 8.5 kayak continues Dagger's creek boat tradition with unmatched safety features and a rock-solid design that makes it a time-tested winner. The Nomad has enough length to handle big water and downriver bombing, but it's still short and quick enough to bounce down the hairball runs you don't tell you mom about. Contour Ergo outfitting has plenty of comfort for all day on the river. There are multiple rescue attachment points, and a reinforced step-out wall. Predictability and reliability are key features in a creek kayak. The Dagger Nomad 8.5 will take care of you from the put-in to the take-out.

AT ATX Paddle: Adventure Technology's ATX Flexi kayaking paddle is a natural classic that defines the perfect all-around paddle. The smooth, any-conditions performance is what makes the ATX Flexi paddle a favorite for downriver and creek boating. The foundation of the ATX Flexi kayak paddle is the patented Full Control Grip. Designed with sports physiologists, the shaft is bent on two planes to properly align your forearm and wrist bones, while the ergonomic grip area is perfectly shaped to fit your hands. You’ll have more power and control, with reduced stress on tendons and ligaments. The large hydrodynamic blades are designed for powerfully smooth strokes. Foam cores minimize flutter and add more energy in your strokes and braces, letting you paddle longer without tiring. Rugged Dynell edging prevents your paddle blade from wearing down, giving you consistently powerful strokes over time. The shaft is a hybrid braid of carbon and fiberglass, simulating the soft feel and natural flex of a wooden shaft, reducing stress to your joints even more. Unibody construction weaves continuous carbon braids from the shaft to the tip of the blade, distributing flex evenly through the paddle, and lowering the swing weight for increased performance. When it comes to performance, power and comfort, the Adventure Technolog ATX Flexi carbon whitewater kayak paddle is the favorite for slalom boaters, committed creekers, and anyone wanting a full-power kayak paddle.

Stohlquist Descent Rescue PFD: Whether it’s a first descent or the 100th run on your favorite river, Stohlquist’s new Descent Rescue Lifejacket is the kayaker’s choice for high-performance rescue vests. The body-wrapping, ergonomically articulated WRAPTURE shaped torso combines with the cross-chest cinch harness adjustment and self-tensioning shoulders for a balanced and incredibly comfortable fit. Gripp-Loc interior non-slip panels mean zero ride-up, and multiple adjustment points further customize the fit. Free-floating suspended shoulder straps stretch as you move. Contoured and padded for comfort, the Nail Cloth textured surface with stiffeners adds protection and makes portaging easier. Multiple pockets allow you to carry needed essentials and the self expanding high capacity main pocket is perfect for stashing a throw rope. The included quick release rescue harness allows for “strong swimmer” and equipment retrievals and there’s even a quick release accessory tab for a tow tether with an optional anchor positioning. Finishing off the rescue detailing, you’ll find several stainless steel loop anchor points that are available for accessory attachments, like a crotch harness. The low cut, offset front zipper makes entry and exit simple, and reflective accents help keep you visible in low light. With the Descent Rescue Lifejacket you’ll be comfortable and ready for the river!

Snap Dragon Kevlar Skirt w/ Implosion Bar: This Kevlar kayak spray skirt is Snap Dragon's premier product. It is designed specifically for extreme and freestyle paddlers who place high demands and expectations on their equipment. The skirt features a one-piece 4 mm Armotex deck with unmatched abrasion and impact resistance. This single-deck construction avoids weak areas where seams would meet, producing a stronger and more flexible deck. A rim reinforcement is heat-welded to the surface of the deck, resulting in a stronger, water-tight seal with no patchwork stitching on the deck. An implosion bar helps prevent the skirt from blowing on big drops and in big hydraulics. Other features include an anatomically shaped oval chest tube and a large, 2" webbing grab handle. The grab handle is easily accessible, making for a quick release. All the seams are heat taped and sealed inside and out. Designed for the most demanding conditions, this is the skirt of choice.
