I want to take a minute to explain what is going on with me & the Coconut Kayak Tours ....
The City of " Cult water" or Scientology City would love for me to move away. I been here most all my life and I exposed a whole lot of corruption and even had a former City Commissioner step down because I exposed her insider deal buying 3 new Beach Condos at a sweetheart pre construction price from the developer... For which of course she approved the project with her vote and displaced over 500 seniors from the Yacht Club Apts ..torn down to build the new luxury condo towers. Yes, I confess... After the City spent 13 million dollars on the silly round about fountain... A disaster...3 months later City spent 2 million to remove the silly fountain. They let the round about remain sand and weeds. So much for the grand entrance to our beautiful beach. So one day I am at Big Lots and they had Plastic Lawn Flamingos on Clearance... So I bought all 18 boxes 2 in a box 36 pink plastic flamingos went in the round about in the middle of the night. I did it.
Now the entire beach was laughing hard... Except for one City leader... They looked at Hilton Security footage... Yep that's KC. Go arrest him for trespassing!
City workers removed the flamingos. The following day.... City workers sodded the roundabout with nice grass and a few bushes.
I was released from jail on my own recognize...and when I went to Court. I told the Judge I was just beautifying the neighborhood. There was in fact no no trespassing sign...so it got thrown out. But kinda funny... City then installs a no trespassing sign in the roundabout.
Anyway most people here love me... But you always have haters too.
Just to be blunt... The City, The County apparently does not want kayaking or SUP for tourists. At least it seems that way. They are closing every launch location... Raising minimum liability insurance requirements for all watersports .. jet skis, parasail etc... not just Kayaks. It's bad. Start a kayak rental or tour Co...not here. They have put up so many hurdles it's near impossible to make a profit.
So I have to keep some things quiet here... I don't want my competition or select others to know just yet.
Yes, I am getting older, and yes I broke my hip and shattered my femur... Hurricane destroyed my home and tourism.. last few years hemorrhaging Cash.
Well I have a new location I am working on. I also will open the world's first Jet Kayak Tours. Wait, did you say Jet Kayak? Yes. I am helping to develop the " rental/ tour version" for example Apple Tags hidden and embedded so they can't be removed. Operator can see exactly where Kayaks are by looking on phone app. If someone thinks I will just put this in the back of my pickup... It can still be tracked and found.
So all I can really divulge right now is this. I am working on it all. Understand that getting a business license, insurance for a product nobody has ever offered before is not easy. But I believe most of you have figured out. FAIL is not in my vocabulary.
Meanwhile, I have irons in other fires too. Despite many friends n family telling me just retire... Not in my DNA to sit home and watch TV all day... I'd rather be kayaking!
So yes... It's my fun semi retirement business. Patience please , prepare to be impressed. My focus is on my many repeat families that come down every year. Yes, call me direct 727 238 1960 and we will get you booked in. 2027 You be saying holy crap, how cool is this!
