Redman Triathlon and Wildlife Expo
Hello everyone.
The Redman Triathlon is rapidly approaching. OKC Kayak and family will be again providing the kayak support for the swimmers. This is a lot of fun. It is incredible watching hundreds of swimmers entering the lake and splashing around all at the same time. If you would like to be a part of this and have some experience in a kayak, give us a shout. Basically we are babysitting the swimmers from the water. If they need a hand, they can grab onto our boats or we can summon the rescue boat.
The event takes place at Lake Hefner on Saturday, September 20th. Kayakers will need to be on the water by 6 a.m. Boats should be dropped off the evening before, as you will not be able to park anywhere close to the event at all (plan to arrive early). If you can help out, contact Dave Lindo at 405.830.9689 or by email (dave@okckayak.com).
If this sounds a bit too early for your liking, we could also use a hand with the kayak pool at the Wildlife Expo (Last weekend of September– Friday, Saturday, Sunday). If there is a four hour period or so that you could help out, this would be incredible. Last year we put around 3000 people in kayaks that weekend. This too, is a remarkable experience to watch so many people (especially kids) getting excited about trying kayaking.
Many thanks,
Dave Lindo
