Re: Skills Sessions for 2012
Hello Jordan, Hope everyone here is well.
Hoping to get more paddling time in this year and I'm back on the search for another kayak.
Looking for a bigger one so I can head out to sea with the group.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and learning the skills needed to tour the ocean.
