This Sunday is perfect to be outside and enjoy paddling.  Air 80 degrees, water 66 degrees, and winds of less than 10 kt from the south. Exercises on land and on water. Learn how to select your gear, forward stroke, sweep, stop, and clean your kayak, etc.  There is always a way to improve your technique. Repetition is the key. The water is your friend.
  • Skill level: Beginner (see what this means here)
  • Meet at noon (12 PM) sharp at Queens Landing in LIC, directions are here.
  • Slack at 01:32 PM and flood begins

  • 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.
