Jenny Zhang volunteered to edit the highlight videos and created this website so paddlers, friends and family can relive the best rides, and so more people can discover the Hobuck Hoedown. The footage comes from the event's live-stream recordings on LiveHeats, which have amazing quality thanks to the organizers and volunteers.

Jenny is crazy about kayak surfing: she competed in the Hobuck Hoedown in 2025 and 2026. She also created surf-tracker.com to track her kayak surfing sessions.
