    What to wear and bring

It's an early one, but the Tides have no concept of the modern workday.

Let's briskly paddle out to Bushwick inlet, and spend about an hour practicing some skills and acquire new ones. Then upon our return, we can take in a lovely East River sunset.


If you are comfortable in the stern, but haven't had a chance to learn/practice bow-strokes beyond the forward stroke, and the backwater—sign up for bow.

If you don't have a lot of experience in the stern, or would like to improve your stern paddling, this is your opportunity to sign up for stern.

We may switch up positions, or move folks around as necessary.

If you are on the wait list we may add capacity depending on the number of experienced people that sign up.
