WHAT'S NEW
The gear for the US men’s open team Riff Raft Racing went out today, in preparation for their paddle at the The Great Karnali Quest in Nepal. With the impacts of the pandemic on raft racing, it’s been slow getting out this gear from these great USRA sponsors. Watershed Drybags, throw bags from Salamander Paddle Gear MTI Life Jackets , and Shred Ready helmets. But it is so exciting this new young team can utilize this high quality gear at this unique event.
The 2023 US Open Mens Team is the only US team registered to compete in the The Great Karnali Quest. This unique event is a 5 day race in Nepal. Check out the event on their facebook page, and please consider sending a donation to the men's team gofundme to help them participate in this epic event.![]()

This what makes international raft racing so different than other sports, the opportunities to connect with paddlers from other countries in such a dynamic way. Team USA, Britain, and Czech at the European Rafting Champs.What a rad race down the Devil's Stream section in the Czech Republic. We got the opportunity to race this section as an R6 team. We placed 3rd in the downriver race with 3 USA team members, 2 GB team members and 1 member from the Czech Republic. Thanks again to everyone that helped us get here! ![]()
