**WORKOUT PADDLE!**
**Bring your SUP, kayak or canoe for a 2-hour steady paddling out-and-back at Lake Jacomo. Cold water gear required.** If you aren't sure what to wear, attend our [Cold Water Paddling Prep event](https://4142298.xyz/paddlekc/events/303058080/) on Monday Oct 21 and our [Cold Water Gear Test](https://4142298.xyz/paddlekc/events/303162364/) on Nov 9.
HOST: Ryan

This event is not suitable for beginner paddlers but you're welcome to come out to say hello before we launch and see what gear we wear to paddle in winter. We'd love to see you! This event IS a good match for those interested in workouts or considering the MR340 River Race next year. Because of cold water safety requirements, this event is not open to guests so have any friends who want to attend join Paddle KC so they can sign up.

Plan to paddle at a moderate pace for a full two hours and enjoy the afternoon on the water. For those interested, we'll do a quick intro to good paddling form and practice some core rotation exercises while paddling.

**LAUNCH 1:30pm**
Please arrive at the marina ramp early enough to give yourself plenty of time to unload and walk back down after parking.

**PERMIT REQUIRED (Half-priced now!)**
[Jackson County annual boat permit](https://www.makeyourdayhere.com/Parks-Lakes/Boating-Marinas/Boat-Motor-Permits) is half priced through the end of this month - $15 annual for JaCo resident, $30 non-resident. Still $30 for daily. Includes Jacomo, Longview, Blue Springs and Prairie Lee lakes where we paddle often, and fees support the parks. Purchase at the JaCo parks office or any Jackson County Marina (allow extra 30 minutes if buying at marinas before launch). Apply your sticker on front left side on a clean, dry, flat spot (visible from the side). See [full permits list](https://bit.ly/2024KayakPermits).

**BRING**

* **Your own boat and gear**. No inflatable kayaks or kayaks under 10 foot. Paddleboarders must have solid skills to paddle for two hours.

Attend our [Cold Water Paddling Prep](https://bit.ly/ColdWaterPaddling1024) and [Cold Water Gear Test](https://bit.ly/ColdWaterGearTest1124) to prepare for this and other monthly winter paddles planned. You'll learn the best options, and what to avoid.
