WHQC - Friday, September 1st - Quad Cities Kayakers Group

Our guests this week are Carols Barreto and Chris Woods from the Quad Cities Kayakers Group. Started in 2017 by Carlos Barreto, the Quad Cities Kayakers Group started off as a hand full of paddlers connecting over their love of paddle sports in the Quad Cities and has now grown to over 5,000 enthusiasts! Carols and Chris drop by to talk paddling and the Rock River Paddle Battle Sprints race from Cleveland to Moline.
