Ever wanted to explore the many rivers, lakes, and coastal areas that Texas has to offer? There is no better way than in a kayak. Interested in taking a week long camping kayak trip along a beautiful coast? Want to learn about the rivers and lakes to explore just minutes from Downtown Houston? Ever wanted to try running a whitewater river? Join us for Kayaking 101 and learn everything you need to know about this fantastic way to get outside!

We will review the basics of kayaking, great places to kayak, and all the equipment you need including in-store demonstrations of kayaks and kayaking gear.

Guest Speaker - Ben Kvanli. 1996 Whitewater Kayak Olympian, and 2X US Whitewater Slalom C-2 Team Member. Ben is an incredible paddling coach whose goal is to give his students everything that he has learned and more! He teaches all levels of classes and also leads trips to Mexico & Guatemala which are astonishing!
Co-Speaker: Kelly Howard. Kelly started kayaking 3 years ago and now has a very serious addiction! Say the word "paddle" and she is ready to go. She promises that if you will come out and learn all about the incredible world of paddling you'll be ready to jump right in too!
