From American Whitewater:

American Whitewater is incredibly excited to announce the arrival of a new Class V ($20,000) partner: WakaWai!
This year, WakaWai came to us with a novel idea: "Instead of spending money on marketing, we're just going to spend it on saving rivers". Share an eddy with the folks behind company and their team, and you'll see what makes them so special.

WakaWai is made up of true boaters, but, they're true environmentalists and community supporters too. Last Gauley Fest, instead of asking where the power hookups were, they were trying to figure out where they could get solar panels setup. They're even currently donating $100 from the sale of each boat to relief efforts in Japan.

We think their own words tell their story best:

We are a family owned and operated company based in Asheville, N.C. Our lifestyle is our family, the mountains, the river, the ocean, as well as making all attempts to craft a sustainable life as often and as much as possible. In the meantime, we aim to share this lifestyle with you!

We, WakaWai, bring you some of the best products in the world, from around the world, by way of marketing, brand awareness, customer service, sales, distribution and community participation.

As part of the global e-commerce family, we stand behind the products we carry.. We also believe in and support AW's mission for our rivers. With that, we want to take the opportunity to be a part of that mission by becoming a class V sponsor. We are honored to be a part of the mission!

Grassroots, keeping it Grassroots! Arohanui!
