Paddle Tour from Ron McKenney Park

Details

Hey PADL St Pete! Come join us on the water for our first ever event on Friday November 12th. You can BYOB (bring your own board) or rent a board from the PADL station (with RSVPs, up to 4 boards available).

We'll leave from the paddle station at Ron McKenney Park and either head north or south (depending on wind and current) to explore the surrounding waterways.

All levels are welcome and those who have not paddled before will get instructions on how to ride before we head out. This is the first event so we can meet each other for the first time, paddle together and make plans for future paddles. And remember: there are up to 4 paddleboards available for rent via the PADL app so non-paddleboard owners are welcome!

Here's the scoop:

  • 9AM Leaving from the PADL station at Ron McKenney Park
  • BYOB or RSVP ahead of time to reserve a PADL paddle board from the station using the PADL app
  • We'll paddle north through "Devil's Elbow". Or maybe south down through "Blind Pass" depending on traffic, winds and current stopping to take in the views every now and then. We'll head back in time to make the whole round trip 1.5 hours.
  • Everyone bring enough water/snacks for 2 hours of combined paddling and chill time
  • There's ample parking at Ron McKenney Park

Bringing your Own Board? Then remember to bring:
_your life vest/inflatable PFD
_a leash
_sunscreen
_waterproof bag for your phone/wallet/keys

Message me if I've missed anything - or just to say hi. Otherwise, see you on Friday November 12th!
