At Hooligan Gear our involvement in white water paddle sports goes back 10+ years. We have the reputation and skill that has gained us respect from some of the most skilled paddlers world wide. We remain close to the paddling community through involvement with outfitters, camps, private kayakers, rescue course instruction and through rafting, canoeing and kayaking companies. Close contact with paddlers of all types has put us in a unique position to be able to get feedback about our equipment and ideas, improving designs for them.
