Kayak Recycling Program
KEEN and CKS are proud to offer the first annual boat recycling program at Paddlefest May 16-18th, 2008. Bring in any old plastic kayak to the event and donate it to the “Sustainability” kayak cause. Your old boat will be stripped down and all applicable parts will be recycled by our staff and volunteers. For your efforts, CKS will offer a $50 in store credit towards any new kayak being sold at Paddlefest. Each contributor and volunteer will receive a free gift from KEEN from their new Hybrid.Transport collection. Think Green-keep your waters blue at Paddle fest 2008.
