Did you know the Payette River in Idaho has one of the most difficult whitewater challenges in the U.S.? With over 15 miles of continuous class V whitewater, the Payette River is now home to the North Fork Championship, an event showcasing competition with some of the best kayaking talent from around the world.

There will be many races throughout the weekend, the Expert Division race (presented by Vivid Roots), BoaterX race (presented by The North Face), Elite Race and even a Stoke Float the last day for anyone confident enough to take on the North Fork Payette before a fun celebration in Weilmunster Park.

In a single day I woke up to a Minturn, Colorado snow storm, only to find myself hours later staring out across a red rock desert in Moab. I met an adventurous few living out of a combination of their tents and cars; moving from one radical rock face to the next. Thanks to a friend I was lucky enough to spend some time with these pioneers of the sky.
