ECCKF 2010

We all had a blast at the 2010 East Coast Canoe and Kayak Festival on April 16, 17 and 18. It was an exhausting weekend for everyone who works at the shop, but well worth the effort and we can’t wait until next year.

We got to reconnect with old acquaintances such as Wayne Horodowich, from the University of Sea Kayaking in Mill Creek, WA.

One of the other things we got to do beside work in our compound was to test paddle boats!! Mary Ross and Matt in particular had loads of fun rolling the NDK Triton double kayak with a butterfly roll! This kayak is available at Sea Kayak Carolina for $2499.

Check out some more great pictures from the festival. Friday; Saturday; Sunday

New East Coast Canoe and Kayak festival website

I wanted to let everyone know about a new website, The East Coast Canoe and Kayak Festival MeetUp Group, to promote the Charleston County Park & Recreation Commission's East Coast Canoe and Kayak Festival. The main event runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 16, 17, and 18, 2010.

Don't miss Sea Kayak Carolina's un-Official Festival Guide, and to register or for more information, check out the official Festival page.

Perhaps you can make some new kayaking friends on-line prior to the Festival. Perhaps connect with Charleston area paddlers for some fabulous local paddling before or after the Festival.
