Our presenting sponsors, NRS and P&H Sea Kayaks, make the event possible through their support of the coaching team and by supplying exceptional gear for participants to experience on the water.
Werner, Aqua Bound, Kokatat, and Level Six contribute demo equipment and raffle prizes, expanding opportunities for paddlers to test and enjoy high-quality gear.
