Planned excursions are typically day-trips organized by a volunteer Event/Trip Leader who is designated by the Paddler Managers. One or more multi-day trips may also be scheduled. Excursions can involve cruising, exploring, camping, fishing, or skill development, depending on the interests of participants. Fresh and salt-water paddling events are undertaken.
The Managers coordinate communication, trip activities and memberships while individual members volunteer to lead excursions.
Event schedule: A list of events will be developed and made available to participants through
paddling@pgosa.org before the first scheduled paddle. For each scheduled paddle the list will include:
- The date of the event,
- The location of the event,
- The meeting place for starting the event,
- Driving directions from the Oceanside area to the meeting place and
- The Trip Leader’s email address and phone
The schedule will be updated as the season progresses, with updates circulated to registered participants. Events are scheduled at approximately two-week intervals from late April through to October. All events are planned in consideration of tides and weather. As a contingency for windy conditions, a backup trip may be posted for events planned for the ocean or large lakes. Weather conditions will be evaluated a day or two in advance of each event. If conditions are unfavorable, managers will advise paddlers of any change in the destination or schedule. Paddlers should always check their email for notices before they leave home on the day of scheduled events.
