I got this email from Devon Barker, she is teaching kids to paddle, sweet….!

This makes my heart stop for a beat or two. What a
great way to be
10 years old! Next time you see Devon, tell her she is doing a great job.
She is always helping people get into boating!

Here is her email to me:

Dear Kristine and EJ,
This is my friend Jade Harris. He is 10 years old and has been joining
me for roll classes at the local hot springs. Last week we went down to
the Salmon River for Jade’s first paddle on the river. On the way down
in my truck Jade turned to me and said, "That guy who makes Jackson
Kayaks really knows what he’s doing." I told him I thought so too!

Thanks for making kayaks for kids! It is a joy to take
kids paddling! Enjoy the pictures.
