Registration

  • Registering as a Kayak Paddler. Make sure you've been assessed for the skill level of this trip before registering.
  • Only select this if you have been assessed as a NBCB Kayak Trip Assistant.

If you don't have any experience paddling or you want to advance to intermediate, this is the trip for you.  In case you want to take intermediate trips, you need to know how to select the gear, control the kayak, and perform wet exits. Kayaking is about skills.

  • Skill level: Beginner (see what this means here)
  • Meet: 6:30 PM sharp at Queens Landing in LIC, directions are here.
  • Launch at 7:15 PM
  • Slack is at 7:57 PM at the mouth of Newtown Creek, and the ebb starts
  • Return & Release: 8:00 PM
  • Trip leader: javiercastano@queenslatino.com
  • What to wear and bring

Dress to get wet, and remember to bring water and a snack.   Please no jeans or other heavy cotton clothing.

Our beginner trips usually have a very active wait list - last minute cancellations or "no shows" could impact your ability to register for future trips.
