This past weekend the streets of Buena Vista filled up for Colorado Kayak Supply’s annual Paddlefest.


The gear sale/swap and in store sale are great ways to gear up for the season and Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center organizes a variety of clinics so you can learn from the pros.


If your looking for competition, South Main hosted its first ever open and junior classes in addition to the pro event.


This years competition was held on a small and easy hole located in the South Main Neighborhood. Due to nature of the hole, competitors were able to put up huge scoring rides during semi-finals and finals making this an exciting event!


Special thanks to all the organizers, judges, South Main, Colorado Kayak Supply, and The Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center.
