    2017 We paddle the globe. Current Designs borrows its design influence and techniques from waters across the globe. Inspired by these purpose-built kayaks and the pioneers that fueled the sport’s innovation, we’ve continued to advance the art through new techniques, materials and technologies. It’s a philosophy born from the idea that it’s not about where you take your kayak – it’s where the kayak takes you. So regardless of the destination, we invite you to begin each journey by exploring our North American, Greenland, British and new Danish style collections, in addition to a range of recreational and specialty models. Each one destined to be “a work of art, made for life” that let’s you take your passion further. 1 Makers OF movement Our international design influence and the visionaries who shape it. Long before the paddle enters the water, New England-based kayak designer Barry each kayak begins with a pen stroke. The Buchanan partnered with us on the famous product of inspiration and experience, hard chine kayak, the Caribou.

  • There Are Many Opportunities for Water-Based Recreation Available In
    Mary W To [email protected] Morrison/R8/USDAFS cc 08/04/2011 01:52 PM bcc Subject Fw: Chattooga River Comment "Tom Dunken" <[email protected]> To <[email protected]> 08/04/2011 03:13 PM cc Subject Chattooga River Comment There are many opportunities for water-based recreation available in the northern Georgia-South Carolina-North Carolina area without making the Chattooga a playground for excitement seekers. My “vote” is to ban all boat traffic, commercial or otherwise, from the river. From my standpoint, it is disgusting to see a plastic object like a kayak violating the natural beauty of this rare stream. So, I am against any further degradation of this wild area from an expansion of the stretches where paddling is permitted. Thanks for the opportunity to have my say.

I am fearful of the impact the increased traffic will have on the river and surrounding area. Kayakers already have many miles of access from section 2 to 4. Please leave the upper section for fishermen & hikers.
