🌊🔥 Taking Back the Bay
📅 Friday, August 22, 2025
🕕 Meet at 6:00 PM | 🚀 Launch at 6:30 PM
📍 Ski Beach, Mission Bay
The tourists are leaving. The bay is ours again.
Summer’s madness is winding down, and it’s time to reclaim the water — San Diego style. No more packed beaches and overpriced margaritas. Just us, our boards, and the best crew in town taking back what’s ours.
We’ll launch from Ski Beach at golden hour, paddle a full loop around Vacation Isle, stop at Barefoot Bar for a celebratory toast, then glide back under the fading sky.
And when the sun’s gone? That’s when the bay really comes alive:
🔥 Bonfire under the stars
💃 Fire dancers lighting up the shoreline
🎶 A DJ spinning the soundtrack to summer’s last stand
🍻 Libations, laughter, and late-night stories
At 9:50 PM, we’ll relaunch to watch SeaWorld’s fireworks explode over Mission Bay — from the best seats in the city: right on the water.
FAQ:
❓ First-timer? Perfect — rentals + tips available.
❓ Do I have to drink? Nope. Water, tea, or mezcal — your call.
❓ Singles event? Nope. It’s a people event. Everyone’s welcome.
❓ Rain? This is San Diego. You’ll be fine.
This isn’t just another Friday night — it’s a statement. A reminder that this is our home, our bay, our tribe.
So grab your board, your crew, and your spirit — and let’s take it back.
