Sharing on behalf of Pea Ohana Watersports:

We know it is a long hot season for 4-H and we would like to offer an opportunity for clubs to do something fun on the water to cool off.  We would like to offer a 15% discount code to all 4-H members.  We have created the code “4H” to share with all membership so they could take advantage of the opportunity.  If there is a group of 20 or more people we can work with them on the % discount.  They can find more information on our webpage:  https://www.peaohana.com/groups .
