Paddlers.
We are on for Hatchlaps. Wind might be light, but its going to be real hot and we will get an awesome workout with Carter Johnson coaching.
After party - If you want, bring a beverage and easy, no effort, sharable munchies for after.
Not sure about this? Come watch, either give it a try or just join in for the after party. Doing Hatchlaps asks for more stability, strength, cardio and moxie. You are responsible to assess your own skill, set your own limits and paddle with a partner. You should assume you will be in the water, dress appropriately and have a rock solid remount. Have a whistle to alert others if you need help. Let’s all play as a team and help others to learn safely. If you haven’t paddled Hatchlaps before, don’t enter the water until you get some guidance from someone experienced. Always look for boat traffic (barges), gill nets and monitor your distance from your launch point.
We park 500ft east of the Hatchery bathrooms, then carry boats on a short trail to the swim beach. It is best to start by paddling east to the large cove to warm up and assess the conditions. From this cove conditions west are significantly more challenging (wind, waves, current, crowds). I always start my first couple laps east and close to the shoreline.
