No other boat in this class compares for holding up to the bump and grind of everyday use of the river. A favorite of large rental fleets, yet light and tough enough to fly to the “No Tell ’em River” in a remote region of Alaska.   Maravia Cataraft: Screaming on the Lochsa Surf Wave or a quiet morning on your favorite trout stream, this is a one-person fun toy - Cool waterline curves spin on a dime and give you change!   Maravia Ik: The Maravia Breeze is a sleek, hot performing, tough new addition to our inflatable kayak offering. The tightly tapered side tubes create an efficient curve that cuts through waves and allows excellent maneuverability.   Voyager Canoe Paddling our classic 30’-foot  Canoe throughout the Snohomish and Skagit River Estuaries offers folks from all walks of life an opportunity to experience the history and beauty of one of our most important natural resources.  Estuaries provide a rich and dramatic environment to view wildlife and learn about nature in places seldom visited by society.  Join us year-round as we explore the backwaters and sloughs of these important waterways.    GT: Good times. Gigantic tsunami. Goofy-footed two-hander. Yeah, we’re not sure what GT stands for either. What we are sure of is that it’s perfect for paddlers who seek a great downriver boat with a planning hull for spinning and surfing. The chines fall between forgiveness and control in tech water plus we pumped up the volume for an oh-so-comfy ride in the big water. The hull speed is smokin’ and is spot-on for entry-level paddlers or big water specialists alike.   Photograph: Scenery Pictures of the river and surrounding area Bald Eagle: Pictures of Bald Eagles USGS: water is essential for life.

CVO assesses hazards before they occur by identifying and studying past hazardous events. We provide warnings during volcanic crises by intensively monitoring restless volcanoes and interpreting results in the context of current hazards assessments. We investigate and report on hazardous events after they occur to improve our assessment and prediction skills, and to help develop new concepts of how volcanoes work.
