For those new to kayaking or looking for leisurely trips, CPA is introducing a new Beginner Paddler Series. Participants will be led on trips of 3-8 miles in scenic locations from peaceful lakes and reservoirs to Eastern Neck on the Bay to rivers and estuaries along the Eastern and Western shores of the Bay. The Series will run from May through October.
The CPA has a dedicated space for paddlers seeking or selling gear.
Mix and mingle with fellow paddlers. Talk about kayaking events, paddling trips, gear, and much, much more.

New Season, New Friends
This spring, we have more new members than usual and an especially large attendance at SK102. That is great news for the club and for the sport. Everybody, if you see a new face at your piracy or a weekend paddle, be sure to reach out. That new person could turn out to be the best paddling buddy you’ve found so far. [More] |
