Ok, here is overview of the days events and direction.

If your going to paddle we want to be at the launch by 7:30am to sign your waiver and get on the water. We want to paddle by 8ish...


A)----- When you first get to Santa Cruz, go to Bayside Marine and buy your harbor parking pass first.The #2 on the map.
Bayside Marine
http://www.baysidemarinesc.com/
333-B Lake Avenue
Santa Cruz, California 95062
(At The Harbor)
831.475.2173
Channel 11 VHF


B)----- Then go back over the bridge. To #1 on the map, this is where we launch. (see directions below to launch from Bayside Marine)
 
1.Head south on Lake Ave toward Carmel St 0.2 mi
2.Slight right at E Cliff Dr 43 ft
3.Turn left to stay on E Cliff Dr 0.1 mi
4.Continue onto 7th Ave 0.3 mi
5.Turn left at Eaton St 0.3 mi
6.Continue onto Murray St 0.3 mi
7.Turn left at Seabright Ave 0.2 mi
8.Take the 2nd left onto Atlantic Ave Destination will be on the left (Before Aldos)
Go down to the end, you will see us.


C) ------ All non paddlers can go directly to the beach, #4 on the map, you will see our tent and flags.

Some additional details below.....

1> Hand launch ramp, for all paddle participants this is where you want to park and launch your yak!

2> Bayside Marine.  Buy your 5$ parking pass here for the 'yellow' sections inside the harbor.  With the pass you can ONLY park in parking meter spots! But you can park on both sides of the harbor with the pass.

3> Private Parking Lot, Just a couple blocks from the beach.  I *think* it's five dollars to park there too.

4> Green marked areas are street parking BUT is NOT free like I thought before.

Directions from HWY 1/17 to the "Hand launch ramp":

Just show up at 730 am at the launch site shown above!! Hoping to be paddling by 8am!!! Brent's Mom will be there selling raffle tickets ($20) and getting folks to sign a waiver! Bring PLENTY o' cash cuz you are gonna want to buy more than one ticket!!! You can buy them before or after the paddle....

The party/potluck will be going on at Twin Lakes State Beach, right next door to the harbor. After you are done paddling you can load your yak on your car and drive around and park on the other side of the harbor and then just walk over. Youll see eazy ups and some flags.

Thinking party/potluck will start around 11am and the raffle drawing at 2PM!!




• For every $20 you donate at this event you get a raffle ticket...

• This also includes your suggested paddle donation...

• This also includes any sponsors you get for your paddle....

• I know of a guy who’s got $250 in sponsors already.... So ask your friends, family and co workers to sponsor you, that’s a ticket for for every $20. The deal here is to raise money....

• Keep in Mind that the MLPA fund donations are separate.

• For anyone who donated to the actual Pay It Forward Paddle via PayPal, i have a list of your names and dontaion amount, just see me at the event and well get your tickets to you.



Big Jim is going to add the raffle prize list to this page...

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure the "Free Ride" will be running after 10am.
This is a free ferry shuttle from one side of the harbor to the other, which may help some folks out if they don't have too much stuff to carry.
The Freeride runs until 6pm.

REMINDER!!!!!!

If you want to borrow a SUP for the day, Scott Ruble of CoveWater SUP has generously offered to loan us up to 4 SUPs!!!

So far nobody has said they want to use one!!

Scott RubleJuly 14, 2010 at 10:26am
Re: Donation of SUPs for use in Pay it Forward Paddle
Hi Jim,

No, no one has contacted me. The offer still stands though. Also, we dont have a SUP class this satruday, so any boards borrowed would *not* need to be back by noon. 2:00 would be fine. Thanks!

I cant make the paddle - unfortunately I have to hold down the shop.

By the way, when you forwarded that message to your kayak friends, one of those was Sean Walker, an old friend of mine. Neither of us was aware the other lived in SC! We met up last week. Great to reconnect with an old friend!

Thanks Jim, Scott Ruble
