Description

The 07 Fun combines more play performance than ever with a substantial improvement in river running. Loops bigger and surfs waves better than my 06 All-star yet feels right at home running class 4+ whitewater as well. Plus light, comfortable, and bone dry. (via jackson kayak)

Patagonia Rincon Hoody

First to recommend

Description

Summer-weight warmth to fend off waterfall spray, the river-side chill, and even mosquitos. Beer and Coffee run right off, while salsa and ketchup require a quick napkin wipe.

Description

2 weeks with just a sink-wash with truck-stop soap? Either my feet stopped sweating or these things are incredibly odor proof.

Lightweight, windproof warmth I don’t have to worry about getting wet, dog-haired, or dirty. A beefed up ‘hoodie’ for those traveling through a wet world.

Jackson Kayak Happy Seat

First to recommend

Description

Inflatable bags lock me into the kayak for greater security when diving into violent water, then add volume for extra ‘pop’ when I come flying up and out. A playboater’s seat-belt and air-bag in one.

This is a must for the 21st century. If you don't have one, then you need to get one. When I am on my way to work or working out this helps me tune out the world. By the way you can still get the 160 GB ones. (via Amazon)

Patagonia Men's Capilene Silkweight Boxers

First to recommend

Description

Silky comfort that sink-washes quick, dries in minutes, and last forever. Just enough coverage for less private river baths or late-night hot-tub opportunities.

Smith Optics District Sunglasses

First to recommend

Description

The hardest rapids are often shaded by trees or cliffs, so light colored lenses are a must when creeking. When I’m in more open conditions, I switch to polarized lenses in an instant.

Lotus Royal Flush Drytop

First to recommend

Description

The Royal Flush combines lightweight durability with breathability for long portages or just long line-ups at the hole. Mated with a Mt. Surf Skirt, and you’ve got a cinch-free waistline for freedom of movement while emiminating water seepage. Dry Freedom!

It’s light, has 0 holes so it’s absolutely dry, shock-absorbing bulkhead, and it’s incredibly fast and forgiving for an 8’er.
