About:
This is a monthly gathering with the goal of keeping our local beaches clean. We will paddle to an area and spend some time picking up as much trash as we can. Each effort will end with a BBQ at the CBC! The best way to practice your sweep stroke is while picking up trash from your kayak with your friends.
Please RSVP to the Beach Sweep BBQ that is scheduled for after each event by filling out the form linked in your followup email!
