Join PADDLE DMV for our First Annual Glow Paddle - inspired by our recent fireworks paddle!
WHEN: 8:00 PM. Please arrive at least 30 min advance to secure parking & inflate (if necessary).
WHERE: The launch ramp is located on the left just as you pull into the marina. I've included a photo in the discussion section of this event page.
PARKING: There's plenty of parking in the oval closer to the main building, as well as, in the overflow parking to the right as you enter.
FOOD/DRINK: Pack a cooler & snacks! If you want to grab dinner prior, Catboat Pizza Bar is in the main marina building.
NEON MERCH: Paddle DMV tanks & hats will be for sale again. Hats - $20, Tanks - $25. The yellow & orange hats looked the best at night. Luckily, I have several of those left. Let me know if you'd like to preorder/prepay.
MUSIC: We are taking song requests. Place them in the discussion section.
ROUTE: We're just going to link up in the marina cove area out of the way of the boat channels.
BRING YOUR OWN:
YOU MUST HAVE LIGHTS: Navigation lights (red & green) are not necessary, but a headlamp & a bright white light on the back of your board would be the most ideal so you can be seen from all directions.
BUNGEES/ROPES: It's helpful when linking up with other vessels.
ANCHOR: Also helpful if you have one.
DC FIRE: I will notify them that a large group of us will be out on the water after dark. As they have in the past, I would expect them to stop by. If you do not have lights, you will be found out. I get the warnings/talking-to for participants' negligence. Please do not put me in that position.
*This event is a self-supported paddle suitable for all levels. Participants will likely be encountering boat traffic and slight currents. Paddlers are required to have a Coast Guard approved I, II, III or V PFD and a whistle. As with any activity, there are risks and you assume responsibility for them and nobody from Paddle DMV will be held liable. In the event of an emergency, we will provide assistance.
Hope to see you there! 🎆
