Everyone seems to be abuzz about Amy Ebert and Angeline Koh’s White Rock Paddle Co. We interviewed the women for a brief article in the October Advocate.

The day I talked to them we saw storms and flooding, and the swath where they usually set up shop was underwater. A few days ago NBC 5 ran a piece on them — my favorite part is when the reporter awkwardly attempts to paddle while doing her stand up — and seems lots of folks who have never tried kayaking are getting into the water. Ebert told me it’s been a challenge keeping up with the demand, so they set up an online reservation system. This fall, they are offering Arboretum Cool Thursday Concert series paddle trips, a 1 ½ hour outing in which kayakers/canoe passengers rest right outside the Arboretum for the regular Thursday concerts.
