What we’re about
New Meetup members can have a FREE TRIAL period for our meetup trips, to “get to know our group”. (or see below re: more trips in newsletter). You will need to sign a Waiver/Release of Liability form to paddle with us during your FREE TRIAL period (ask your Trip Coordinator for the form). Prior to the end of the FREE TRIAL, you need to pay membership dues to the Florida Sport Paddling Club or you will be dropped from our Meetup.
MORE is available to dues paying members (only $10/yr, or $5 after July 1). Only a few of our trips are posted on Meetup. Dues paying members receive monthly newsletter with information on our other trips. Combined Trip list is below.
If you'd like to pay dues and get our newsletter, go to [FLSportPaddlers.com](http://www.flsportpaddlers.com/)
for the membership form & waiver (mail these with your check for dues).
