Texas Kayak Builders Bash

Posted by John Caldeira on Apr 4, 2007

Just a reminder about the bash on Saturday, April 28, and our Galveston Harbor Tour on Sunday. Hope to see many forum participants and your boats!

************************ This year's Texas Kayak Builders Bash will be held on the Gulf of Mexico coast at San Luis Pass County Park on Saturday, April 28. Join us for a day of display, conversation and fun centered around home-built kayaks, canoes and other small boats. Bring and display your home-built boats, or simply come to view the crafts, learn and engage in conversation about boat building. The general public is invited.

San Luis Pass County Park is between Galveston and Freeport, at the southwest end of the bridge to Galveston Island. The boat display will be bayside, where we can paddle boats and enjoy on-water demonstrations. Surf potential is a short paddle away. The event is free, but the state park has an $5 per vehicle entrance fee.

On Sunday, we'll tour the Galveston Ship Channel and Harbor by kayak.

Camping and motel accommodations are plentiful within a short drive, but make reservations early.

AGENDA Saturday April 28, 2007 * 10 am - 4 pm -- Kayak, Canoe and Small Boat Display. Also sea kayak rolling, rescue and paddling skills demonstrations * 1 pm - 3:30 pm -- Kayak Surfing * 4 pm -- Awards Ceremony (dinner on your own)
