Steve Stebbins of Port Townsend, WA is the 2009 Yakima Take-It-Easy Contest winner. Steve's name was drawn at the West Coast Sea Kayak Symposium before a sold out screening of the RPFF hosted by producer Scott MacGregor.
"I'm looking forward to the Yakima rack system," says Stebbins. "I drive a cherried out 85 Westfalia Vanagon VW we call Captain Morgan." The price for the Yakima Take-It-Easy Contest is a Yakima base rack system and a Skybox 16. The Take-It-Easy Contest was run in conjuction with the Yakima People's Choice Award.
As a proud sponsor of the Reel Paddling Film Fesival, YAKIMA recognizes the significance of audience participation and has created the YAKIMA People’s Choice Award.
