The Green Race 2015
This is going to be CKS Online's ongoing (for this week, anyways) blog on the Green Race, one of the most well-known and best events in kayaking. For 20 years now, the Green Race has brought out some of the world's best paddlers to compete for The Glass, a handmade trophy, rather than money or prizes.

The course record was set in 2012 by slalom paddler extraordinaire, Mike Dawson. This year, with a juicy high flow, racers such as Pat Keller, Isaac Levinson and Dane Jackson are setting to challenge the course record. In recent days, Keller has set an unofficial record at 4:01. Check out the video of his run below. https://vimeo.com/144355795 Can he do it when it counts on Saturday? Check back later this week for more updates, including some thoughts on the race from CKS Online's own, Nelson Jones, who has raced a few times himself. Stay tuned!

GearBenjamin Thornton
At the beginning of 2023, Liquid Logic went on a tear and released 3 boats in the span of just a few months. Of these boats, the Hot Whip was a particularly exciting and sporty boat that I was stoked to paddle!

Why "Classing Up" in Whitewater is NOT the Answer

Progressing through the difficulty levels should be approached gradually, with a focus on skill development, knowledge acquisition, and a deep appreciation for the sport itself.

Immersion Research Devil's Club Dry Suit: One Beater's Honest Review

GearBenjamin Thornton
The Immersion Research Devils Club Dry Suit is one of the most durable drysuits on the market, and in my humble opinion, one of the best pieces of gear money can buy.
