About us
WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT: Making friends and having fun. That means everything from hitting the night clubs to going to the theater together and everything in between.
Some of the things we've done already: paintball, bowling, camping, canoeing, river tubing, roller skating, comedies, haunted houses, costume parties, volleyball, sailboat trip, beach trip, broomball, rock climbing, movies, live theater, festivals, parades, volunteering, splashtown, and lots and lots of happy hours and club events.
We are open to doing just about anything in the future. Your ideas are welcomed.
We're a pretty close group and there's always room for one more!

This activity requires a moderate fitness level. Our sit-in kayaks come in sizes and can accommodate paddlers up to 250 lbs. and 42-inch hip/pants size.It's best to have a brief phone call to let us know your approximate height and weight for us to bring you the correct size boat and life jacket.

WHAT TO BRING AND HOW TO DRESS
Bring several 33 oz. / 1L water bottles and energy drinks to take with you in the boat; a granola bar and a small thermos would be nice.
Cold air and cold water are of the biggest concerns being on the water this time of the year. Leave a water bottle and a snack in the car for you to have ready at the end of the event when you will probably be hungry and tired but hopefully very accomplished and happy!
Bring with you but leave in the car a full set of dry clothing to change at the end, should that be needed, and a large towel to cover your car seat for a comfortable ride home.
Small crafts are unstable and water dripping off the paddle into your lap is possible. Dress for immersion by dressing with clothes made of synthetic materials that are comfortable and dry up quickly. Avoid any cotton clothing. Dress with a long sleeve shirt and long pants to avoid insects and sunburns. For exposed skin, bring sunscreen and plan to apply often. Your feet will get wet and muddy. Water shoes, closed toed sandals, or old sneakers are a great choice. Crocs, flip-flops, hiking boots and rain boots are not good options. Bring a large brim hat with under chin strap and sunglasses. Bring paddling gloves or cycling/workout gloves to prevent blisters and sunburn.
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A FUN PADDLING EXPERIENCE WHILE BEING COMFORTABLE AND SAFE!

Based on your request, we can bring out 10+ kayaks and canoes for you to sit-in, compare and contrast features, and take out on water for a spin and drive test.
We have newly restored kayaks and canoes, including recreational, sea touring and whitewater kayaks in rotomolded plastic, blow molded HTP, and fiberglass and composite materials from Prijon and Eskimo (made in Germany), Pyranha, Valley, NDK, and P & H (made in England), Dagger, Old Town, Perception, and Wilderness Systems (made in USA), Current Designs, Riot, and Boreal Designs (made in Canada), and Mohawk canoes.

This is a family friendly event, kids are welcome to attend, and we guarantee that besides having fun, everyone will learn something new.
You can take several short paddling trips to get a feel for several different kayak models and their comfort level and handling abilities. We will discuss, analyze, compare and contrast features, designs in building, material quality, etc.
