Jackson Kayak and Hotel Charley

Another fun filled Friday. Colin Kemp represented Jackson Kayak as a host for the second installment of our race series. He put on a great event. The relay consisted of three person teams. Each leg of the race had a floating JK carabiner which he or she had to pass off to their teams boat until all three were connected to the finish line. After the race, we had the grill out for burgers and brats and filled a raft with tasty beverages. It was a great atmosphere. JK provided the awards for the top three teams including patagonia base layers and beanies and raffled off a creek float bag. Thanks to all who came out and made it a fun night.

At times it was a jumble of chaos. Even though it looks like he is about to swim, Ashley did hit his roll.
