*If you do not have an appropriate kayak, PFD, paddle, we will provide this for you but you must sign up as using ours.*

If you have your own kayak it is best you use it so you know how it will perform and allow those without a kayak to utilize ours. Appropriate kayak for this event is a sit inside or sit on top 10ft-14ft. of good quality
Four participants are required to run the event, with a max of 10 people.
Weather Policy: If we have to cancel at the water due to extreme weather, we will make all efforts for the event to be rescheduled, or participants moved to another date that has availability.
