Kayak Support: Stepping Up To New Runs
Welcome back to another episode of Kayak Support! This week, we're stepping up our river running game on the Piney River, in Nelson County, VA. This was the perfect place to apply all the skills we've been building and explore a gorgeous new stretch of river close to home.
In this video, you'll see footage from the run, a break down some good lines, some not so good lines, and discussion of what it takes to progress and step up to new runs!

Verus Kayaks 2020 Outfitting Walkthrough
To all paddlers, the connection to the boat is just as important as the boat itself. We have redone our outfitting to feature a roto-molded plastic seat, molded in thigh braces, and an adjustable bulkhead for the Gladiator. Here is a short video going a little more in depth about what is going on inside our kayaks. Both models will feature this outfitting with the Hellbender having a foam bulkhead.
You can pre-order the 2020 lineup at: https://veruskayaks.com/product/2020-pre-order/

April 17th Update from the Verus Team
Usually we would be loading up the truck and trailer right now and driving to all the festivals and releases to meet and talk with all of you, the paddling community, in person! Since we cannot do that, we wanted to make a video giving you an idea of what's going on at Verus Kayaks. The quaran-team sat down to get into the details of our operation. If you have any questions please comment below. We hope to see you on the water soon! -

For those of us who had the opportunity to paddle the original Gladiator, we're stoked to introduce the new and improved Gladiator 2.0. We've completely redesigned our outfitting with a rotomolded seat, ratcheting back band, and molded thigh hooks to keep you locked in and comfy. Also, we've cut 4 gallons of volume from the stern to give you the playful performance you crave. This boat inspires confidence on the river and can take a paddler from class I-V.
