Celebrate love and pride in the outdoors!

The Community Boating Center is hosting these paddling gatherings as an on-water celebration space for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We recognize this population has historically been excluded from outdoor recreational spaces. We aim to set a positive example of inclusion and create safe spaces that are open, honest and welcoming for all.

This is a place where people can explore new or existing paddle skills and experience the beautiful bay. Try paddle boarding, kayaking or rowing! We now have 2 Mega SUPs that can fit 10 people on each! (or like, 5 people and 3 dogs!)

Find balance with friends, new and old. We hope it promotes better balance, on your boards and in your lives.

No experience needed, but be ready to be out on the water most of the time!

Use of craft type is dependent on that day's availability and on a first come-first serve basis. Rowing may or may not be available, make sure to let us know you are interested on your booking!

Ages 18+ and all abilities welcome!

Safety is our number one priority, running this tour requires experienced guides, good weather conditions, and mindful participants. We will cancel and refund or reschedule the tour if the conditions are not safe. Sometimes the conditions change just hours beforehand, but we will give you as much notice as possible.

If the program date you are interested in is full please join our waitlist here.
