2014-2015 Blizzard Kabookie
Based on the popular Bonafide, the Blizzard Kabookie was designed as a lighter option for both resort and backcountry use. But this is no backcountry noodle—it's more of a race ski tweaked to tackle off-piste conditions.

The Dagger Mamba 8.6 is a great boat for beginner paddlers, but it also really shines on hard whitewater of any variety.

For when the run gets steep, shallow, and rocky, Shred Ready's Tsunami Elbow Pads are well-built and reasonably priced.
