Not only is Devon a great kayaker and an inspiration to anybody who wants to see the struggles of trying to live a good kayaking life pay off, with results, but she is a great ambassador too. Devon works hard on bringing kayaking to the D.A.R.E. program, and generally focuses on bringing kayaking to kids. Since Jackson Kayak is quite focused on kids kayaking, Devon’s efforts are noticed and supported by us.
