About James Fredericks:


James got his intro to whitewater kayaking in 1984 as a senior in high school. He started seriously whitewater kayaking in 1993. In August of 1995 James first set foot in the Portland Alder Creek. Within one minute he saw the boat he needed to buy (without prior consideration). James has entered many whitewater events and won several, including the 1998 Nike World Masters freestyle event. He has a few first and second descents of various rivers and waterfalls, including Oregon's 68 foot Koosah Falls.

In the past James has seriously engaged in or competed in cross country skiing, road and mountain bike racing, rock climbing and multi-sport events.

James has been working at the Bend Alder Creek since 2003 and currently one of the two managers there.
