Welcome to the fun-filled, sun-kissed, alligator-infested state of Florida, where suntans are the norm, oranges are the main squeeze, and kayaking is as popular as the nightly dance-off between grannies and grampies at the local community center. Here is where you'll find the raddest bunch of water-loving kids you could ever hope to paddle with! These aren't your regular everyday kids, oh no! These are the "Kayak Krazies," Florida's own gang of pint-sized paddlers who rule the waterways with their nimbleness and, dare we say it... their complete disregard for the laws of physics! Led by their fearless leader, Captain Crocodile Cruncher (who, by the way, has never actually crunched a crocodile, but likes the sound of it), these kids can turn a serene river tour into a wet and wild water rodeo in seconds. Captain Crocodile Cruncher, also known as Triple C or 'C-Cube', is a legend in these parts. With his neon orange life vest, shark tooth necklace and trusty kayak aptly named "The Gator Guzzler," he’s as much a part of Florida as the palm trees and sandy beaches. He leads his team of Krazies with splashing enthusiasm, navigating through the trickiest mangroves, outpaddling the fastest water snakes, and even outsmarting the occasional grumpy gator. These kids have turned kayaking into a way of life. They splash, they laugh, they munch on gooey marshmallows roasted over a bonfire on an island that they swear is haunted by a pirate parrot who has a thing for karaoke. So, if you ever find yourself in sunny Florida, grab a paddle, slap on some sunscreen, and join the "Kayak Krazies" for an adventure you will never forget. Just remember, the first rule of kayaking - watch out for the singing parrot!
