October is that sweet transition time from crowds to community. Everyone who put in the summer miles gets a serene, reflective NYC retreat.

This weekend’s nor’easter is the transition between short sleeves and long sleeves. You don’t need to overthink it...normal layers and a splash jacket is the ticket through Halloween. Neoprene comes after that, and drysuits on winter solstice.

If you want to know how year-round paddling works, we’re hosting a free Off-Season Info Session (online) this Sunday at 10:00 AM. Link in the bio. Join us!

We don’t leave our river when there’s a chill. After all, kayaks were invented in the Arctic. We’ll be here year-round, every weekend and every Wednesday night at 6:45 PM. 🐻‍❄️

With more time indoors, we suggest picking up Robert Macfarlane’s “Is A River Alive?” You’ll read: “I am the river; the river is me.” That’s why we do this. Why do you get on the water?

This Saturday, we paddled across the Hudson to watch the World Cup match at Hoboken Biergarten (we go 1x per month). Eric gave some paddle tips on the way. The food was delicious and crowd was jubilant! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇴🥨 The river was serene after a weeklong visit from Sail4th 250’s tall and military ships. Join this trip after Kayak Basics 1-2-3 or Paddleboard classes!
