Kokatat, the watersports apparel and accessories company, extended the territories of its rep, Ted Keyes. In addition to his current territories, Keyes is now responsible for California, Nevada and Arizona.

Keyes, an established sales representative in the paddlesports industry, has worked with watersports gear and boat brands in the western states for over 13 years. Specifically, he has worked for Kokatat in Colorado and New Mexico for the past three years. Kokatat athlete, photographer and tech-rep Taylor Robertson was appointed as Keye's tech-rep, based out of Chico, Calif. In addition to occasionally helping out Keyes with the other western territories, Robertson will primarily be handling all Kokatat dealer-related demos, in-store clinics and visits in the state of California.

“Ted and Taylor's experience and knowledge of the Kokatat brand and paddlesports business is an excellent asset to Kokatat,” said Jeff Turner, Kokatat's sales and marketing manager. “They deliver the highest level of customer service and support in a very active paddlesports region.”
