Disclaimer
The Long Island Paddlers is not a professional paddling organization. Our members coordinate paddles for their own enjoyment and the enjoyment of the rest of the paddling community. Skill sessions, while a great way to learn, are not run by professional instructors. The trip coordinators are not professional guides or instructors. Many of them are highly skilled and experienced paddlers, but they do not have any professional credentials. You choose to join the Long Island Paddlers coordinated trips at your own risk. The use of alcohol and drugs on club paddles is prohibited
Paddling is a lot of fun, but there are certain guidelines and rules that should be followed. First, read about Trip Levels to make sure you are capable of completing the paddle trip as planned. Second, read Paddling Guidelines so that you know what equipment is necessary for a safe and successful paddle.
If you wish to bring a non-member as a guest, please contact the trip leader directly before the trip.

| Leader: BRUCE |
|
County: Sufflok City/Village: New Suffolk/ Southold |
|
Water: Bay Distance: 7-8 miles Miles Level: 2/3 Endurance Rating: B Click here to learn these ratings |
| Details: Bring a lunch/snack and water. A Level 3 paddle requires you to be able to perform assisted rescues, self rescues, and bracing in winds of 10 – 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph, waves of 1 – 2 feet, and a current of 3 - 4 knots. We will be within a mile from shore with moderate boat traffic. Spray skirts are required for Level 3 and above but need not be worn if conditions prove less severe. Right now, predictions are winds at 8 mph from the SSW. There are two channels (races), one at either end of the island that can sometimes get tricky, depending on the tides and wind. Going across should not be a problem, but we will have to watch the races on the way back because of the tides and wind. |
