Paddling

Wandering on the Water

Rafts, Kayaks, Canoes, SUPs, & More

Dive into all things rafts, kayaks, canoes, SUPs, and other watercraft to expand our adventures beyond the shore into rivers, lakes, and even the open ocean.

Beyond the Road

When the road runs out and the trail ends at the water front, the adventures are just beginning. Boats may be too big for our nomadic lifestyle, but inflatable rafts, kayaks, SUPs, & other watercraft have allowed us to explore everything from lakes and rivers to open ocean.

That lightweight collapsible design not only makes these craft easy to store in our little home on wheels but also trek into backcountry launch points. We’ve been able to break into a whole new realm of water exploration through pack rafting and bike rafting. We not only share our favorite paddling destinations but equipment and techniques.
