Jimmy Wright
Co-Founder
Growing up in New Zealand, Jimmy had the Pacific Ocean as his playground and lived to surf. At 18 he discovered kayaking and the joys of playing in the ever different flows of whitewater rivers. Along the way he met his wife Marisa, a Missoula local, they followed summers between Montana, Alaska, and New Zealand working as guide/instructors, finding more rivers to play in and raising their two boys Wilder and Radley.

Like Jimmy, Andrew's passion and love for rivers has brought him to Crux, where sharing the joy of kayaking is the ultimate reward.
