"I just feel that the kayak is so versatile and different than a bass boat, so we needed a format and tournament structure that really highlights what makes it so special - it's versatility. Kayaks have such a wide range of applications, from big kayaks that are virtually mini boats that can handle motors and electronics, to smaller simpler kayaks that get you into places with un-pressured fish that boats can't go. All water types and all kayak and angler types coming together as one - that's KAS."   KAS Founder Drew Gregory

 

We're about more than a tournament - it’s about people, the outdoors, kayak fishing (of course), and the real connections that happen when you explore new waters together. Life is boring fishing the same old local water - we want people to branch out into the unknown which forces them to have adventures they've always dreamed of but just never had a reason to attempt! 

​

We bring anglers to incredible, often overlooked fisheries and pair the adventure with a laid-back competitive format designed to guarantee one thing: a great time. The fish may not always bite, and only one angler can win - but everyone leaves with memories, friendships, and stories that last far longer than the weekend.

​

KAS events are built around community. From opening night gatherings and shared meals to off-the-water festivities and awards hosted inside historic theaters, we create space for anglers, friends, and families to truly connect. There’s no rush in this format, no pressure - just good vibes, great fishing, and unforgettable locations. Sure we have incentives to film your adventure and certainly there will be a big winner, but the way it's set up if you're only focused on winning, or the money, then you've already missed the point of KAS...and maybe even life in general in our opinion. These adventures are what is truly priceless. 

​

On the water, anglers are encouraged to choose their own adventure. Lakes, rivers, creeks - all in play. Motors allowed. Electronics allowed. Big kayaks. Small kayaks. Whether you're all in on technology or a "just a small kayak, 2 rods and paddle" type - all styles celebrated and diversity of styles encouraged. Whether you’re chasing giants, exploring new water, filming your journey, or just soaking it all in, KAS is designed so you’re never “out of it” with a unique 5-fish (1.5 day) format, payouts deep into the field, several divisions to enter, and of course a raffle kayak for charity to conclude each event. 

​

Off the water, the fun continues with festivals, food, music, games, and awards shows that feel more like a celebration than a ceremony - complete with big screens, big moments, and big cheers from your peers.

​

At its core, the Kayak Adventure Series exists to ask one simple question: How can we help anglers catch more fish, make stronger connections, and have more fun?

​

Part tournament. Part expedition. Part festival.

The Kayak Adventure Series is kayak fishing the way it should feel!
