Hi veryone!

I’m new to SKABC and have not done this trip before. Would we start from the beach in Harrison? If so, do we paddle back at the end of the day?

thanks

Sjoerd

Never done this, but sounds great. Hoping to join in a tandem with my 12 yo daughter and my wife in a solo.

Hi Cynthia, please include my name on the October 11 Harrison River paddle.

I have done this trip a few times in the past and am looking forward to doing it again, but with a larger group 🙂

thanks,

Eric Hoogenraad

Join this leisurely Oct 11th day paddle.  Sign ups open Sept 1.  Enjoy seeing spawning salmon, bald eagles and First Nations pictographs while floating down the Harrison River.  Be in wilderness without stress.  And we end off the day with an après-paddle at the Sasquatch Inn Pub. This is an easy trip so just wet exit and forward and stopping paddle skills required. This is always a favourite. Sigh up soon.

I am taking whitewater refresher with Purple Hays Kayaking this Sep 14th. I did their introductory courses this spring, it was awesome. They still have two spots available for Sep13-14th session if anyone interested.
This is not for beginners for sure. If you have good boat handling skills, edging bracing etc, that should work. Nice to be able to role but it is not necessary.

They provide all the gears so just needs to show up.
Please check their website for more information.

I am planning to do rolling practice at Sasamat Lake tomorrow morning (Aug 26th).

Meet up White Pine parking lot F at 9am, then get ready and be in the water 9.30am to 10am. Practice till 12pm the most.

If anyone like practice rolling please come and join with me. Also if anyone wanted to do self/assisted rescue practice, you are welcome to join.

Water is warm so you may getaways without dry or wetsuit depending the tolerance level.

Nice to have nose plugs, ear plugs and goggles for those who are learning to role.

Kayak cart would be helpful to carry boats if available.

I may go Wednesday 27th and possible 28th as well if that works for me.

Please post comments on this forum or contact me directly if you have any questions.

Size large. Kokatat says 5’10” to 6’2”. Don’t believe it. More like 5’9” to 6’0”, especially if you do winter paddling with an extra layer under your dry suit.

Totally dry suit in excellent condition. No fading or scuffing. It was leak tested and sealed by Orange Canoe dry suits. New neck and wrist gaskets. This is the metal zipper version. Much more durable than the nylon zippers.

Asking 850.00

Hi,

The Ladner Wharf has now installed a New Kayak Easy Launcher. This will make it a lot easier getting on and off the water.

The Ladner Wharf is located on Elliot St., Ladner, which has two Pubs onsite and a very good Family Restaurant called the Niagra two blocks away.
