What we’re about

SKABC is a club of independent kayakers who love the adventure of exploring our coastline by kayak. Our website is at skabc.org. SKABC's mission is to promote fellowship, safety, the exchange of information and skills, to encourage concern and respect for the environment, and above all to enjoy sea kayaking.

As a volunteer run club, we focus on providing our members with trips for all levels of expertise, training to ensure we all have the skills to paddle safely, and an appreciation of marine conservation issues. We are always looking for new members who want to develop and/or share skills and knowledge of this tremendous recreational pastime.

All members and non-members are welcome at our monthly meetings, held on the first Monday of January to June and September to November. To sign up for official club trips and to take courses, you will need to join the club at skabc.org, which requires an annual membership of $45.

This Meetup page is sponsored by "Friends of SKABC," a group of SKABC members dedicated to expanding our activities and outreach to new and older members. Attendance on a Meetup trip dues not require SKABC membership and is open to all with a genuine interest in kayaking and relevant skills for the trip listed.

Finally, we are looking for event organizers (e-orgs) who are safe and experienced paddlers willing to lead easy kayak trips mostly for beginners and through this Meetup group.
