Kayak International would like to thanks some of its key sponsors and friends for all their help and support! The following are some of the best out there to visit... Boatwerks A special thanks to Boatwerks.net who have become the heart of Canadian paddling with their exciting site and on-line gear sales. They have done wonders in promoting our sites and products. Liquid Skills Our sister company and Canada's Elite Kayak School based on the Ottawa River. We have our main camp on the phenominal Ottawa river and have clinics across N. America hitting popular paddling regions like the Washington/Potomac area, Deerfield Mass, Gull river in Ontario, western Canada (from Calgary to the Skookumchuck on the Sunshine coast) and many other popular paddling spots. Siv Stuff Cindy Jamieson has produced some after paddle gear for both women and men. Cindy has also been around to help us skids out in our various travels ... she does travel agency stuff too! Aquabound Paddles are important. We have been strongly supported by Craig Langford and Joe Matuska of Aquabound. These guys make rock solid paddles and all our boys tend to paddle with them. Lotus Designs Lotus produces what we feel are the finest in flotation devices! We happily wear their gear going down some of the most challenging whitewater in the world! Thanks to all at LD for all their help! Wave Sport We have strong associations with WS. Special thanks goes to these kind folk for helping us out in Chile and on the Ottawa! Riot Mark, Jean-Francois and Corran have helped much along the way. Riot has a good representation at our various camps... plus our favourite Chile guide, Chad, would kick our ass if we didn't put a link up to this cutting edge company's site. IR When wet we rely on IR to keep us from rotting to death or shivering till our teeth drop out. Most of the fellas pack nothing but IR. IR has strongly supported Kevin and others in their various paddling quests. Cheers! Predator Helmets Matt Kelly makes a mean helmet. Not just pretty and funky, but protective! We run some of the toughest rivers at times and count a bit too heavy on his technology and design to keep us conscious. Thanks Matt... many times over! Paul Villecourt - Photographer Paul took all our photos of Chile! He rocks as an individual and as a professional. Typically we curse and scream injustice when having to stop for photos... not with Paul! All his results have been nothing short of brilliant... use him, buy his photos!
