In junior high I started riding freestyle BMX and that consumed my life for the next twelve years. In high school I was introduced to kayaking through my brothers outfitter. Initially we knew nothing about kayaking, but after a couple years of self exploration I discovered my new passion, white water kayaking. Eight years later I find myself near the top of freestyle kayaking and traveling around in the Pyranha van searching for... ]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 20:54:00 -0400 13086 2012-05-23 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_p7233537-1337806810.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_p1011578-1337806811.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_p1010890-1337806813.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_img-2662-copy-1337806814.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_img-0359-1337806815.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_craigstyle-1-1337806816.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13086_406658-2953678529471-1486676374-33002937-268916018-n-1337806816.jpg http://fiveten.com/athletes/athlete-detail/12861-kate-wagner http://fiveten.com/athletes/athlete-detail/12861-kate-wagner I grew up on the water and have always had a love for the outdoors, but being from the flatlands of South Dakota was limiting. As soon as I finished up at the University of Minnesota I was off to the Pacific Northwest for a little more excitement. I took my first lesson in 2004 and haven't slowed down since.

Around the age of 7 my pops big Dave taught me to roll a kayak. From their my Mother and Father took me paddling down the local class two three creeks and rivers near our house in Clarion. As a youngster I was pretty damn scared of kayaking. It just all seemed real big I guess?

It was a hard crash at the bottom, but I always ran back up to the top for more. Sooner than later, my love for breaking laundry baskets transformed into a love for waterfalls and rapids. It was a slow progression, as I challenged myself with ski racing, mountain biking, and various other sports. Along the way, I spent numerous years as a kayak instructor working with various youth programs in their effort to introduce more ‘groms’ to the sport.

Something about it just grabbed my soul. Next thing I knew, I was driving out of British Columbia to Colorado to pick up friends then off to Mexico and Central America for the better part of 3 years to paddle unknown rivers. Well...that was the mid-90’s and since that time, kayaking has become a major part of my life and has taken into the most incredible places ever.

At the end of high school I attended World Class Kayak Academy and my passion exploded from there. In the past few years I have been focusing on expedition kayaking more than the competition scene. This sport has taken me all over the world, but currently I am finishing school in Santa Cruz, CA. I am the main contributor for Shasta Boyz Productions and making videos is the best way to share our adventures.
