Hi all

Hi all Newbie here from San Francisco. Looking for places to launch and where to learn where to paddle safely.

Thinking about Point Reyes? Maybe just to get my bearings.  Anyways I;m a bit apprehensive about Kayaking in the bay since the currents. So I'm looking for a place to start out.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Derek

Welcome to NCKA Derek. 

I think a good place to start would be to practice in a lake first to get a feel for everything before hitting the salt.  See you around.

Thanks Again for the replies! if anyone knows a lake close to sf to try my kayak out on let me know. for now I was thinking bodega, jenner areas.
