Thanks so much to everyone who came and made it a great event! Lots of people took advantage of classes and demos and everyone was siling! We ended with some excellent music around the campfire with a bunch of great friends - the perfect way to wrap up a fun day of paddling!

Great event, I had a great time on a early morning paddle led by John Clinton and Gennifer Gatan. In the afternoon I really enjoyed paddling some of the kayak demos from some of the manufacturers. Thanks to Aqua Adventures for putting this event together, I'll be there next year.

  You don't need your own boat! You can come and demo several dozen! We have some great sales going on and a bunch of used kayaks for sale too! You might find your perfect kayak!

  There are "demos", but not "rentals". Demos are for short periods of time (10-15 minutes). There are also 1 hour long classes going on every hour, so your friends may love it!

I am excited to be going to this. Can you tell me if there are any fees for this event? I thought there were costs involved in the past.

  Hey Eric, Yes, it's $40 to get in and $10 if you want to park in the Campland RV park or you can park on the surrounding streets for free. You can use the $40 toward a purchase at Aqua Adventures on any purchase of $100 or more within two weeks of the event. Here's is a link to Aqua Adventures where they have all the event info. http://www.aqua-adven...
