About

Come join us for a long-guided tour to paddle under a train track bridge, tucked back in a scenic hidden marsh connected to the North East River in Maryland! This paddle begins at Bay Venture's Creek launch for a warm-up paddle where we'll enjoy bird watching, looking for turtles, and working on paddle technique. Then we'll test our SUP skills out on the river for a fun & challenging paddle to the train tracks! Depending on weather/water conditions you can paddle at your own pace, but this is an adventurous paddle! Once we arrive to our destination point, we'll rest on our boards. Pack a protein powered snack and non-alcoholic drinks in your cooler to enjoy at our sit spot. This could potentially be a faster/stronger paced paddle, so we are requiring previous SUP experience with Kula SUP.
