Those who already own a paddle board or boat are encouraged to bring it if they are comfortable allowing other participants to give it a try. Organizers hope having a variety of privately owned craft available will provide even more opportunities for participants to experience something different.
“Never tried an outrigger canoe? Curious about a surf ski? Want to see what kind of paddle craft fits you best? This is your chance!” organizers said in announcing the event.
The Paddle Rodeo is being promoted as a casual morning on the water with no racing or pressure, just an opportunity to paddle, try different craft, and have fun.
