This year was the third annual Inland Sea Kayakers (ISK) Picnic and Rodeo. The ISK is a Twin Cities based sea kayak club with 250+ members, and this year I am acting as president. Last year I won the event and rather than compete again this year I opted to photograph the event from the water. Here are some of my favorite shots in no particular order:

A bevy of beautiful kayaks resting onshore prior to the event.
Deb Strike performing magnificently in the rolling time trial.
Phillip taking a dive while performing the Watusi dance.
Mike sprinting for the finish line.
Michelle executing a low brace turn during the slalom.
Thanks to Lynette, Fred, Bernie and everyone else who helped to make this a great event. More pictures are available here.
