THIS SOUNDS COOL >>>
Unlike its glamorous cousin, white water kayaking, flat-water or sea kayaking is easy to learn and pays immediate dividends. The key difference between white water kayaking and sea kayaking is that if you're not really sure what you're doing, it's a lot harder to drown doing the latter. And no matter how great the thrill of careening down the runoff-swollen Wenatchee River, drowning sucks. Banging your head on a rock while floating upside down in a piece of plastic barely big enough to serve as a change purse is no particular bonus either.
What's so great about sea kayaking? For starters, it's like going to the zoo - except there are no crowds. The wildlife is really wild; it comes from Washington, not Africa; and it doesn't look at you with a doleful expression or beg for vending-machine peanuts. Second great thing, you can paddle right up to an outdoor beer festival.
That's right Paddleheads, Metro parks will host Paddles & Pints, a kayaking excursion to the Tacoma Craft beer Festival Saturday, Sept. 3. Those older than 21 may enjoy an easy paddle on the Thea Foss Waterway and Commencement Bay, then tip over at the outdoor beer festival at the 21st Street Park.
We assume it's a roundtrip excursion. Sign up here.
Saturday, Sept. 3, 10 a.m.
$30, $50 with kayak rental
Includes free admission to the Tacoma Craft Beer Festival
Tacoma, 253.594.7847
