Welcome to @floridapaddling 2026 PaddleFest & CT Reunion, taking place April 16–19 at Camp Kiwanis in the Ocala National Forest.
We’re excited to share that The River Connection and Marshall Seddon will be introducing Melker Kayaks to the Florida paddling community for the very first time.
Join us for hands-on test paddling and discover what sets Melker apart — high performance, lightweight construction, and a strong commitment to plant-based materials.
Whether you’re curious or ready to upgrade your gear, this is a great opportunity to experience the difference on the water.
