Join your fellow paddlers for the OOPS Kayak Club General Meeting, Wednesday, March 27, 6:00 PM when we host Out of Sight, Out of Mind.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind, is a team of three Portland area kayakers, Shay Bickley, Chris Bensch and Jason Self, with a mission to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and waterways and inspire others to make simple changes in their own lives to make the world a better place.
They are giving a presentation about their latest project, the Search for the Perfect Day, shot on location in the Redwoods, Florida Everglades & Keys, and Kauai, Hawaii, as well as last spring’s Trashpedition, where they paddled sea kayaks 100 miles from Portland to the Ocean towing a canoe to collect all the trash found along the way.
Lumpy Waters is a yearly kayak gathering sponsored by Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe. It is held on the Oregon Coast at Pacific City. The event occurs in the fall and takes its name from the unsettled, but still manageable, state of the sea, which has usually just started to rise from its (relative) summer calm. Lumpy waters is one of the premier sea kayak gatherings on the West Coast
We depend on our boats to keep us safe and secure on the water. Moreover, they represent significant investment(s). What can you do to keep your boat in tip-top shape?
Friends, Fellow paddlers and turkey afficianados. It is with great pleasure that I’d like to remind you of our upcoming OOPS meeting Wednesday November 28 […]
In the summer of 2011, Jonathan Walpole, Kirti Walpole and Jenny Johnson paddled a thousand miles down the west coast of Canada. Starting from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, they followed an exposed outer coast route down to Vancouver Island. From there they switched to the more protected, but still remote and spectacular, inside passage route.
