“ A great place to find people to kayak with wheather going with the group or on your own adventure with some great new friends. There is so much information out there on shopping, gear, places to kayak, classes offered for various types of kayaking and so on and bringing people together to share all this knowledge is wonderful. Kayaking is a great sport whether it be white water, rivers, lakes, or fishing from the boat and the more people we can get involved the better time everyone will have and the more opportunity someone will have to meet people to go out with. When you have a large group you can always find someone to kayak with and some place to do it so if you can't make the official event because of time, work or location you can probably find another event. I look forward to passing out the info cards I printed from the web sites to new people I meet on the water and around town. ”
