I'd love to hear of people getting kids involved. I know Chicago Jim works with teens, so maybe he has some stories. I have a 5 year old GK whom I plan to get on the harbor on his next visit. I almost got my 12 year old nieces into it, but they just had too many other interest competing with kayaking. I'd love to be responsible for getting someone interested in the sport at a young age. I was 45 before I got into it for real and think of what good times I'd have had if I'd started earlier. I think if kids could see how dynamic sea kayaking can be, they might find it a more interesting choice. We Paddlewisers are getting old, we'd better start thinking of who will continue our legacy!!
