Our Company

 

This company was founded out of a 24-year commitment to the river.  My name is Adam Groskin I am the founder and CEO of Colorado Original Rafts. In 1999 I took my first job in Colorado as a white water guide on the Arkansas River.  As a kid, it was a lifelong dream of mine ever since taking guided trips on the Cheat, Delaware, and the New River Gorge. After guiding through the worst drought in Colorado history, I moved on to become a Flyfishing guide.  I have been Fly Guiding now for over 20 years. 

  I had the idea to found my own raft manufacturing business in early 2022 after searching for a new boat and realizing almost every manufacturer was back-ordered.  Like most of us, I was searching for the next chapter in my life after the onset of covid had affected my previous wintertime business.  It hit me like a ton of bricks when this idea all culminated.

I have rowed or paddled almost every major manufactures' boats and have an intimate knowledge of their construction, materials, characteristics, and performance.  Armed with this knowledge I set out to create my first model. 

Our mission is to build high-quality affordable boats and provide a personal customer experience.  If you call us, you can speak directly to me. I will personally oversee all shipments and handle any issues.

Most of all Colorado needs its's own whitewater inflatable company. 

Please buy Colorado and stay Colorado Proud.
