Summer 2025 kickoff paddle!

What, you say it isn't summer yet? Its January.

If we stop paddling in August for a 6 month Winter hiatus, (we are posting in August and trust us, none of y'all are paddling in August) we can certainly start summer in January if it is 70 degrees out.

This is the time of year to paddle, warm but no summer storms like back in August .

This is an amazing place to paddle.

You are part of a paddle group.

It's time to paddle.

This is a very popular event so RSVP early and book your spot. We will paddle along the protected inland waters which are mostly shallow and flat to the island of Shell Key Preserve. The island borders the Gulf where we will take a break to rest or have a snack. Paddlers can swim in the crystal Gulf waters, collect shells or dolphin watch.
