The Ninth Annual South Sound Traditional Inuit Kayak Symposium (SSTIKS) will take place June 18-20th, 2010, at Twanoh State Park (near Belfair), WA. SSTIKS is a volunteer-run and non-commercial event, with an attendance of over 120 Greenland style sea kayaker participants.

Each year at SSTIKS we hold an auction (silent & live portions) on the Saturday night to help to raise money to make the event more accessible at a reasonable price for paddlers and their families by defraying travel expenses for volunteer guest speakers and instructors.

Only cash or checks are accepted; pad your wallet so you can bid on some of the following great items we'll have at this year's auction: Tow belt, kayak frame, akuilisaq, paddling mitts, norsaq, sprayskirt, drawknife, QAJAQ USA items, instructional DVDs, magazine subscriptions, paddling bag, registration & $250 travel comp for Delmarva (Oct 2010), water canteens, paddling cushions, gift certificates for instruction/ tours/seminars and rentals, t-shirt, baseball caps and more.

We welcome donations of kayak-related gear for our fundraising auction. Donors will receive proper mention as event supporters during the auction and on our web site, providing exposure for the company and its products and illustrating its support for Greenland style kayaking enthusiasts.

For more information or to arrange donations, please contact SSTIKS Auction Chair, Jenny Owen, at: seayaker@comcast.net.
