2023 Week of Rivers // Day 3 - WILSON CREEK GORGE KAYAKING

Day 3 of the 2023 Week of Rivers! We bring the party to Wilson Creek Gorge with a 16 pack party paddle!! I dont think there is a better leveling up river anywhere than Wilson Creek. It has the unique characteristic of always running. Being carved granite slab style river, the channels always canalize the water providing year round fun. When it is too low for the die hard kayakers, it is perfect for a newer kayaker looking to take the next step up. A kayaker that is ready and that has the right guide will find the joys of tight technical paddling, Giant boulders, the maze-like nature of the river as well as that wind in your hair feeling of the drops and slides that only come with gradient! All this can be experienced without the push of regular flows where the river is full on and requiring a more complete set of skills. That is exactly what we were looking for! PARTY PADDLE ON WILSON CREEK!

[@gregcunningham4896]

Thanks Steve. Your videos have moved Wilsons Creek to the top of my life goals list. Only been on this kayak journey a couple months, so it will be awhile, but maybe I’ll see you out there someday.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Greg!

[@WhitewaterOutdoors]

Giving those kids a ride was hands down the coolest kayaking content I’ve seen on YT before! Thanks for being so awesome to total strangers! You probably inspired some future paddlers 😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks WWBBQ!

[@dangosner]

Not just just a beautiful run, but y'all did a great job filming it. Love the shots from up on the side of the gorge. And OMG, those seal launches! ;)

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Dan! Cant wait to get you up there!

[@garyholmes2849]

[@troybennington3479]

Is that light blue boat a zen3…. Nice to know I’ll fit😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It is a Liquidlogic Delta V 88

[@colbybeam]

My goal as I just got into kayaking this year is to go to WOR in 2025. I didn't know Pete spoke spanish :)

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Oh yeah! Make it happen!

[@troybennington3479]

So no zen…will I fit or need a smaller boat, pretty tight.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Not sure, what size Zen and what is your weight and height?

[@Saahib_K]

Very nice, what are these kayaks called?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Hey saahib! These are all various kinds of whitewater kayaks.

[@Saahib_K]

@@RiverKingsKayak Reason I asked, I can't seem to find these out for sale anywhere, the ones I see are very different in shape than these. Any particular store sell these compact ones?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

@@Saahib_K where are you located?

[@troybennington3479]

Zen 3, I’m 5 10…180

[@RiverKingsKayak]

There are 3 sizes to the Zen, you can probably fit a Medium, but if that is too tight on the legs, a Large will surely do.

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Adios bye bye!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks bob!!!! You doing rock a dock this year?

[@bobmcelroy7289]
