Methodology I work a 9-5 in tech and like to dabble in side-hustles. This narrowed down my list to kayaking & snowboarding locations within close proximity to a sizable city. Two large regions have not been included, Pacific Northwest and areas beyond a working mans' (woman's) budget. Pacific Northwest has incredible activities but I experienced living in an overcast area while in college in Erie PA and not interested in living in an overcast area ever again! Each ranked location I spent 2 or more months living in and during that time did as much time engaging with people and area as possible.

A great post-Green Race bonus to try to catch if you can.

It's the Green. 🦍

Most remote, under the radar, event I have been to. Absolutely worth getting on your radar.

Known as the largest paddling party in the world. Get your karaoke crew ready.

Many runs to choose from for any skill class. Large river festival that is unique in that only half (or less) of people are paddlers.

Let's GO! Most hype, great V creeks, and well-run event.

Fun class III run with boofs for days and class IV+ options.

Grassroots event great for meeting advanced paddlers.

It's easier than you may think! Highly detailed instructional video.

Small event with big runs. Personal favorite.

Short class II-III run with a lot of people. Great event to bring friends new to boating.

Stonycreek Rendezvous has the most chill vibes. Low key surf days and most family-friendly event.

Keep cuts clean while out on your adventures.

Small sized event perfect for the family and dog. 40min of exercise guaranteed!
