How a good one runs
What a good kayaking plan looks like
There is a meeting point, a leader and a sweeper, a gear list, and a weather call made before anyone leaves home. The pace is posted, and the group regroups at every turn. Most plans land between 4 and 12 people: enough energy, still easy to learn names.
Tip for your first one: bring more water than you think. If the plan has a gear list, it is there because somebody learned the hard way.

Kayaking questions
Do I need to be good at kayaking?
No. Hosts label every kayaking plan with a level: all levels, beginner friendly, intermediate or advanced. Pick the one that matches you today. If you are unsure, beginner friendly is always a safe first plan.
What does the $15 commitment do?
It is a hold on your card, not a charge. Show up and it is released. Cancel 24+ hours before and it is released in full. Cancel later and 50% is kept, unless someone from the waitlist takes your spot. If you do not show up, it is kept.
What happens if the weather turns?
The host makes the call. If they cancel for weather, the plan closes and every hold is released automatically. You do not need to do anything.
Love kayaking? Host it.
Post the meeting point, the distance and the gear list. Make the weather call early. If you cancel for weather, every hold is released automatically. Suggested hold: $15.
