Kayak Social Paddles

Do you have kayaking experience and are you interested in kayaking weekly with Dave and other paddlers? Join one of our Kayak Evening Social Paddles simply by renting a boat and paddling along. It's a great time to get to know other paddlers and have a mini vacation.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to sign-in, get changed and get onto the water. Stick around afterwards to continue socializing with some light refreshments and a hotdog.

What skills do I need to join a Social Paddle?

  • To paddle a solo kayak, paddlers have taken a Beginner Kayak Intro Course or have equivalent paddling experience.
  • If you have a friend with less experience, consider renting a tandem kayak.

Dates and Times

Leisure social paddles run every Thursday and/or Friday evenings.

Intermediate Social Paddles (faster paced / further distanced) are offered July/Aug Thursday evenings.
