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.
