Paddle Sports with REI

Diana Acker and Mitch Mead of REI's Willowbrook store introduced us to the fun of paddle sports, specifically kayaking, during this informative class. With a kayak in the classroom and many of the possible accessories, we learned how easy it is to get outside and enjoy the water. There are several places to go in the area, Lake Woodlands, Spring Creek Greenway, and Buffalo Bayou, to name a few. They recommended renting to try out the equipment before taking the "plunge". Diana also showed us the adventure and volunteer tours that REI puts on. "Through volunteerism, giving, responsible business practices and more, REI connects people to the outdoors and help protect the natural places we love." - REI's Stewardship
