Denver

Welcome to the Denver region

Welcome to the Denver Kayaking page of the World Kayak Blog.ﾠ Colorado is one of the top paddling regions in the United States.ﾠ Denver offers 300+ days of sun shine a year, steep creeks 30 minutes away, tons of Class III-IV, and 14.5 miles of man-made WW running right through the middle of it.ﾠDenver pales in size compared to New York, Dallas or LA.ﾠ It is a small city with a cool sports vibe, great food, fun night life, amazing concert options, and more skinny outdoorsy people than you can shake a stick at.ﾠ Denver really does have it all.ﾠ People here love their free time, and most are multi sport proficient.ﾠ Denver draws every type of whitewater paddler and it is still one of the easier places to find a paddling partner.ﾠ Welcome to the Mile High Paddling Club.

      Getting to know Trevor Clark

      Jun 12 09 - Over the course of my life as a kayaker there have been a few notable photographers that have provided the imagery for our sport. Jock Bradley and Paul Villecourt are the two that stand out in my mind. Last year at the Reno River Festival I was introduced to Trevor Clark. He was kind enough to shoot one of our World Kayak hometown throwdowns. Needles to say I was impressed with the images he captured. Over the course of last season the quality of the images that Trevor continued to generate did not disappoint. Not only is Trevor an extremely accomplished photographer but he is an extremely good boater as well.
