Energy Kayak served as our safety kayakers for the Little Float event in Milwaukie, and they were a fantastic addition to the team. Beyond keeping everyone safe, they towed several people back to the dock who'd gotten caught by the wind and were too tired to paddle in. We loved having them out on the water with us — they kept everyone's spirits high all day!
