RiverScene Journal | Lake Havasu Was The Setting For Enjoyable For These With All Talents

By Becky Maxedon

Arizona Adaptive Water Sports hosted an all-encompassing day Friday on Lake Havasu for individuals who require help with water sports activities for all skills.

Crystal Jackson, a kayak volunteer mentioned, “There are athletes which might be coming right here who haven’t been capable of water ski with out help, so there are folks right here to help them. 

“Our volunteers and experts are taking them out on boats for boat rides, on the kayaks for kayak rides, on the jet skis for jet ski rides.”

Jackson estimated there have been about 100 folks available for the occasion, with about three quarters of these being workers and volunteers.

“I love it. Being outside and being able to help people and give back to those who enjoy water sports. I raised my kids doing water sports and the grand babies, camping all that. I think this is something people should explore and to be able to be out on the water,” she mentioned.

“It’s necessary for them to have the ability to be outside and do out of doors sports activities and be part of the neighborhood. It provides them pleasure.

“These kids that come down here are so excited. They can’t wait to get their life jacket on and they’re cheering everybody on,” she mentioned.

Here are photographs of the occasion.
