2013 Golden Gate Sea Kayak Symposium

Three weeks have passed since the 2013

Golden Gate Sea Kayak Symposium

in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The vibe was right-on this year with a healthy mix of personality, positive attitudes, a relaxed atmosphere & abundant sunshine.  It was a great place to make friends and do some paddling.  

After a brief period of contemplation, we've decided to do it all again in 2014.  My goal next year is definitely to spend much, much more time on the water.  Maybe even do some coaching!  I want to give a huge 'thank you' to the many sponsors, volunteers, staff, coaches & participants that came out for the celebration.
