Happy Customers! “ A BIG Thank you to Joe and Andy for giving my son a new experience today! You guys were fantastic! I don't think anyone could have taught a one-handed kid with autism to Kayak any better than you guys did! He had a BALL!!"   Parent of participant in Adaptive Paddling Class Kylie and all her friends had a great time. We hope that more dances on the pier for our group will be happening.
