The Troublemakers represent the USA in U19 Men's Whitewater Raft Racing. They are comprised of a group of local teens from Lake Tahoe, California: Captain Alex Tippett, Ethan Somer, Cooper Old, Max Hawley, and Zade Hatton. These kids bonded together to form this team in early 2024 and worked hard to qualify to represent their country in national and international competitions.

They have competed in the USA Nationals in Oregon in 2024, winning 1st Place to qualify for the 2025 World Championships in Malaysia. The team most recently competed in the USA Nationals on the Trinity River in CA winning 1st Place overall to qualify for the 2026 World Championships. The Troublemakers competed in the 2024 Nations IRF World Championship in Bosnia and Herzegovina where they won a silver medal in the Head to Head Competition. They have also competed in Chile, New Zealand and Slovenia.

They are fundraising to raise money to pay for training boats, paddles, entry fees, and accommodation for their upcoming 2025 World Championships in Malaysia December 1-7, 2025.
