THE PRO GUIDE TO KICKING ASS ON THE RIVER Link Freestyle Tricks


DEVYN SCOTT BIG WAVE LEGEND IN THE MAKING


I always decide what combo I’m going to throw before I throw it to ensure I have proper body position for each trick. Throw at the top of the wave to get the most amplitude out of the first trick and enough upstream momentum to stick the second move.

DANE JACKSON REIGNING FREESTYLE CHAMP


Activities other than kayaking help me stay in shape for paddling. I pick activities I enjoy and can do year-round so I want to do them often. You don’t have to run or bike 10 miles to get a good workout; integrate 10-minute bursts of activity into your workday. I love anything that gets me outside—I go for quick runs and play speed rounds of disc golf throughout the day.

Maintain your ability to move through full range of motion by rolling out tight muscles with a foam roller after a work- out or paddling session. I roll out the length of my back three to five times, as well as my hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps and IT band (the outside of the leg). The whole session takes five to 10 minutes and helps prevent injury and boost muscle performance.


Paddle Till You’re Travel With Your Kayak


LU URWIN GLOBETROTTING WHITEWATER NOMAD


The days of claiming your kayak as a surfboard or surf ski are over. Baggage rules differ between airlines, so I research weight allowances every time I travel. I’m always at the airport early for my check-in and most importantly, super nice, patient and friendly to the people helping me, for as long as possible. When all else fails, I’ve found bursting into tears usually gets ‘em.
