What we do.
Most of our members are from San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, but we have regular members from the East Bay, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Francisco and Sacramento as well as emeritus members living around the country. We paddle the many rivers of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains and the coastal ranges.
Pool Sessions
Pool sessions are a safe place to concentrate on improving many aspects of boating without having to worry about cold water, current and rocks. Many boaters use the pool for learning to roll, trying out a new boat or just staying loose between river trips. It’s a chance to meet other club members, plan your next paddling trip and relive last weekend’s. If you’ve never been in a kayak and are just curious feel free to stop on by.
The pool sessions are non-structured, so no official lessons are given, but there are always club members around who are willing to lend a hand, give advice or perform an Eskimo rescue when required. Afterwards many of us head over to a nearby bar or restaurant for a bite to eat and a drink.
Please note:
- The cost is $12.00 per person. When you arrive you’ll need to sign a simple liability waiver (once per season) and drop your $12 in the jar.
- The club does not supply boats or equipment.
- Please make sure your gear and kayaks are clean.
- No seal launches from the pool deck.
- A lifeguard is on duty and
- Well supervised kids are welcome
- Space is limited
