A kayaking event for every kayaker.

Here is a kayaking event that has something for every kayaker in my family. We have kayakers who love to race to the finish line and kayakers who love to just paddle and enjoy the scenery. We are always looking for events that offer both options and the Chasco Fiesta Kayak Race and Fun Paddle does just that.
The Chasco Fiesta Kayak Race and Fun Paddle will be held on Saturday, March 27th in New Port Richey Florida. The kayak race is 8 miles (approx) and the fun paddle 2 miles (approx). Paddling will be on the historic Pithlachascotee River.

The starting point will be at the James E. Grey Preserve. The ending point will be at Sims Park boat launch in downtown Port Richey. You will need to paddle back to the starting point at James E. Grey or arrange for your own pickup at the Sims Park boat Launch.

A clear kayak made from a durable polycarbonate material is an awesome ride for recreational kayakers.

The two-seater kayak, a Clear Blue Hawaii Molokini Two Passenger Transparent Ocean Kayak, is completely transparent allowing the paddler to see deep down into the water below.

I can definitely see the benefits when sea kayaking in Hawaii, the Caribbean or other tropical waters. Even in certain clear or mostly clear running rivers – it would be great for fishing since you could see exactly where your prey is hiding!

The high quality materials have been impact tested – including intense crashing against rocky shorelines, 20 ft drops, hammer blows and an ejection from a vehicle at 70mph. We assume the boat emerged from these test unscathed.

Transportation and storage of this futuristic kayak is made easy because of the anodized aluminum internal frame system. Basically, it’s collapsible – coming from someone who stores her kayak in the living room, that’s a plus in my book.

There was only one review so far on Amazon where the kayak is available for a mere $1,799, and that buyer loved it. I can imagine it would be great for kids – of all ages!
