A message from Dave Hansen Whitewater.
JACKSON, Wyo. — Don’t let the dream drift away: The final 72 hours!
What would you do with a brand-new raft? Would you be the hero that rallies the crew for the Sunday canyon run? Would you spend July evenings hypnotized by the Tetons on Dead to Moose? Would you eddy out to fish every side channel on Wilson to South Park? Or maybe you finally put in, and draw that permit on the Middle Fork of the Salmon! Â
Whatever that dream looks like, the window to make it happen is closing fast. Dave Hansen Whitewater is ready to hand over the oars to a brand-new NRS Star Outlaw, but you have to get in the current — submit that guess before Friday, May 15. Â
The deadline: This Friday, May 15.
The Stakes
- Hometown Heroes: Closest local guess (without going over) wins the NRS STAR Outlaw 142 (MSRP $3,395).
- The Next Gen (Under 18): Win a Tributary Spud Inflatable Kayak (MSRP $600)—the ultimate ticket to river independence.
- Out-of-Towners: Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a private whitewater charge or a golden-hour scenic float.
Dave Hansen reserves the right to extend the contest period past May 15, 2026 or end it before May 15, 2026. Should the contest be extended, it will be publicized.
