If I won the kayak...
As this is my preferred method of river transportation, I already have numerous boats in my personal fleet. Instead of using this for personal use I'd probably take a 2022 Jackson Kayak Zen 3.0 Whitewater Kayak Closeout in size medium and donate it to Team River Runner.
Having an instructional background, the Zen is arguably one of the best beginner boats on the market. Borderline unflippable, paired with the easy to adjust outfitting that Jackson Kayak offers, makes it a great fleet boat!
I am definitely tempted to snag the 2022 Liquidlogic Party Braaap Whitewater Kayak Closeout for myself to get recklessly vertical, but word on the street is there are a ton of sweet new half-slices choose from 2023.
If I won the $1000 off a Raft...
My wife and I have been eyeing an NRS Star Slice for a hot minute! Welcoming our newborn baby girl into the world less than two months ago, this has been lingering over my mind more than ever. I've dreamt about warm summer days swimming on the Tuckaseegee with the family. Stable enough to float and survive the Ocoee, but with the right partner you can get after it on the Upper Gauley.
Long term, I can see us rafting on a regular basis and when she grows up and scooping up a larger paddle raft to get out with friends and family. The AIRE Super Puma has always caught my eye. Till then, I'll stick with my solo floating cooler!
If I won the Hala Gear SUP...
As I am still dialing in the SUP game on the Nantahala and Tuck in my Hala Rado, I am often between crashes. What better way to spice things up than with an Hala Atcha 86, especially if it was FREE!
The squad at Hala swears by the Atcha lineup to up the ante on the river. They are some of our best selling SUPs at CKS Online.
