Kayaking Career

Early in his college career at the University of Utah, Ken Driscoll discovered white water kayaking on the rivers around Salt Lake City. Drawn to the water in all his free time, Ken worked to steadily perfect his technique and to become an active competitor in the sport. Within just a few seasons, the Riot Kayak factory team picked him up and, trite though it may sound, the rest is history.

"I feel very fortunate to have worked with Riot for such a long time," said Driscoll. "I feel they have the best kayaks on the market, and really push the sport in their support of athletes, and in kayak design." The company’s commitment to the evolution of kayaking and kayaking equipment mirrored Driscoll’s own, making the partnership rewarding for both sides.

Media Appearances

In the ensuing decade, Ken has been featured in articles for Paddler Magazine, Canoe and Kayak, Kayak Session, and Utah Sports, in addition to a host of articles online. No stranger to the interview circuit, Ken has also appeared in film and on television in productions including, Legend of the Falls, Air Force One, Core, One World, and The Search.

In addition to his many professional activities in the sport of kayaking, Ken now works with former Riot team member Pete Asties through www.peakukus.com, a site specializing in quality kayaking gear. After working in product testing and development, Ken is now focusing on introducing the PeakUK brand to the U.S. and Canadian markets.
