Paddle with us

We host two, free recreational paddles every month as a perfect way for beginners to try paddling and learn about our club and Monterey Bay. If you are new to the sport of paddling, this is the perfect way to start!

Haumana means apprentice or learner. The focus of these crews is improving technique, fitness training, learning the skills for each seat in the canoe (including steering), and the Island cultural connections to paddling.

The time on the water will incorporate drills and one on one coaching to advance skills, along with fitness training. The distances paddled will be sustainable for beginners, but will be challenging enough to improve endurance and strength. Each outing will be tailored to the needs of the crew.

Join us on Thursdays, 5:00pm and Saturdays, 7:30am.
