Trip Description

Join us on our weekly after work paddles and unwind in the middle of the week.  Use this time to demo a kayak, work on your techniques, or just to relax with other paddlers in a low-stress natural environment.  Many people also use this as an opportunity to try kayaking for the first time.  We provide all of the necessary equipment so all you have to do is show up.  We’ll explore some of our local lake systems and enjoy the company of fellow paddlers.

Typical Itinerary

The After Work Paddles will rotate between various local lakes. Sessions will begin promptly at 6pm and run for 2 hours or longer depending on location. Paddlers who arrive late will not be allowed to participate, and will not receive a refund. Check the store terms and conditions at the end of this page for more information.

Weather Conditions

The weather is always a factor that demands attention when going out on the water. Kayaking is a very versatile activity; if you’re prepared it’s easy to enjoy the mystical atmosphere provided by light rain or cloud cover. Decisions to cancel trip due to weather (thunder/lightning) will be made at the location of the paddle only.
