It has always been about the paddling, it always will be. Our goal from day one has been to provide the Inland Northwest paddler the very best selection of whitewater equipment currently available. We have always been the regions first to introduce new and innovative products and techniques. Through better instruction, knowledge, individual service and equipment, we all learn faster, have more fun and in the end, spend more quality time on the water. We strive to improve the quality of our paddling experience here in the Inland Northwest by working together with the AWA on conservation and access issues, sponsoring special events and guest instructor clinics, rodeos, free demo days, Thursday night group paddles and rescue clinics. Through our paddling, teaching, competing and listening to you, we know what works and what we all want on the water.
