Beginners Paddle in Sit-On-Top Boats

There will be a 90-min, members-only, beginner kayak trip before the Free Public Paddle. We will go along the creek to the mouth of the East River. We want those of you who've been wait-listed, or have struggled to join a trip , to get on the water. 

Please Note: On this trip we will be using our fleet of Sit-On-Top kayaks. These are our beginner boats. They don't require skirts and are very stable. It's not our Sit-In deck boats that some of you are familiar with. But they're a lot of fun!
