Season Finale!
Spend a lovely day on the water exploring Ghost Lake. Great way to spend a day out in the countryside.

We'd be spending 2.5 hours on the lake. We'll have the boats on the water at 11am and be off the water by 1:30 pm for a picnic lunch by the lakeshore. Bring food for yourself and food you'd like to share.

If I don't have enough members attending by the cut off date, this event will be cancelled.

Beginners are welcome. There is no real lesson, but newbies will be assisted until comfortable.

The kayaks will be recreational kayaks without rudders, although many will be higher end rec boats which have the same hull design as touring boats. Cost of the event includes the Boat rental, PFD and Paddles.

Note:
NO JEANS TO BE WORN and no cotton clothing. Bring clothing that can get wet.
- Totals allowed on this event may change in accordance with Aquabatics' availability of demo boats.

PAYMENT NOTE & INSTRUCTIONS:
Payment is due immediately upon registration. Should payment not be received on time you will be moved off the event and onto the waitlist and someone else will be offered your spot. There will be no refunds after the cut off date unless a replacement can be found. The faster you pay the faster you get on. Don't be surprised if someone on the waitlist gets on before you do.
