Narrative:: Announcing OOPS Fall Kayak Maintenance Shindig
You’ve spent all summer playing on the water and your boat has some additional dings, scratches, jammed skegs, floppy decklines, or misaligned flow diverters. Here’s a chance to get together with your fellow OOPSters for a repair session.

On October 31st, we will have several stations at Alder Creek available to inspect and repair simple issues. There will also be workshops to learn about bigger issues such as gelcoat repair, seat carving, and other items.

To participate, fill out this form to let us know what you would like to work on. Even if you previously filled out a similar form, please repeat with this new form. The deadline to request a space is October 13th. If we have more requests than we can handle, we will prioritize according to when you filled out the survey.
