Want to try Standup Paddle Boarding? (No Charge)

Calling all Pancake paddlers. If you have always been curious about standup paddle boarding, even a little bit, and would like to try it out (at no cost) then come to East Green Lake on Friday evening 7PM, May 29th. You can try out my large, stable SUP in the warm, shallow and oh-so-calm water of the swimming area, which has a nice sandy bottom. You probably won't get wet unless you want to try out some trick stuff or some rescue techniques. But it's still a good idea to dress for immersion.

You pancake paddlers who regularly SUP, please consider joining us on Friday to pass along your SUP skills to the newbies. And one or two kayakers would be appreciated to volunteer to be rescued, should we do a rescue drill.

See you then!

ABOUT THE LAKE UNION PANCAKE PADDLE

Eat Swedish pancakes. Then paddle. Beginners are most welcome. If you don't own a kayak, SUP or canoe, they can be rented by the hour at the dock we launch from. This group is open to all paddle craft (kayaks, SUPs, canoes, inflatables, dragon boats, etc.) and gathers regularly on the first Sundays of every month in the lobby of the Swedish Club which is open to the public for their monthly Swedish pancake breakfasts. We enjoy the ten million dollar view and have a Swedish pancake breakfast together to the accompaniment of live Scandinavian folk music. Then we take the short walk down to the dock and leisurely paddle for an hour or so on the placid urban waters of Lake Union, the most unique lake in the world--home to Academy award winning movies, famous art studios, amazing houseboats, float plane airports, historic vessels & sunken battleships, storied Olympic champions, Native American history, magnificent cityscapes, stupendous infrastructure, a surprising amount of wildlife and the birthplace of the Boeing Airplane Co.

We also do "Special Edition" paddles on the lakes and rivers of Western & Central Washington and on Puget's Sound, the Pacific Coast and the San Juans. Special Edition paddles often have no onsite rental availability.
