Kayaks by Kevin

Kayaks by Kevin Help support Cross Hill Community Church and get a fine, handcrafted canoe or kayak built for you by Pastor Kevin.

Cross Hill Community Church is currently trying to raise funds to stabilize our budget, and to complete building renovations necessary to comply with city building codes. Pastor Kevin is willing to custom build cedar strip boats for a thank you gift for a donation to Cross Hill of at least $10,000. Kayaks and canoes are lightweight, beautiful, incredibly fun to paddle, and surprisingly durable. Bo

Come check out our booth this weekend at the Iron Range Home, Sport, and Travel Show at the Memorial Arena in Virginia! I'll have the "Expedition" and "Yukon" kayaks on display, along with tons of canoe and kayak paddles. I'll be in the back arena right by the DNR's Wall of Shame.
