First paddle of 2026, let's gooooo! We'll meet at the Santa Barbara Harbor boat launch (see map), explore the harbor and Stearns Wharf, and finish off with coffee and a bite at Helena Avenue Bakery down the street!

A few notes:

  • ⏰ TIMING: We'll plan to set sail no later than 9:40 AM, so please have your paddle gear on the ramp and ready to roll.
  • 🚗 PARKING: Paid public parking is available in the Main Harbor Lot at the boat ramp (483-689 Shoreline Dr, Santa Barbara, CA 93109).
  • ⚠️ SAFETY: Remember to have a life jacket on board or you might end up on Harbor Patrol's Most Wanted. (But seriously, you can get a ticket for being life jacket-less.)

If you're new here, read on:

  • 🛶 PADDLE: Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks, canoes, and the like are all welcome. When in doubt, go for it.
  • ➡️ FORMAT: We typically paddle for about an hour, deflate/load our gear in our cars, and then reconvene for some hangs. Shortcuts are welcome and no worries if you have to cut out after the paddle.
  • 💡EXPERIENCE: This route involves going from the harbor out into the open ocean. It is usually calm, but may be challenging for beginners.
  • 🛟 RENTALS: We're not affiliated with the rental companies but encourage you to research options on your own!
  • 👀 FOLLOW: Keep up with Oars & Pours and see past event photos on Instagram, @OarsAndPours!
