Introduction from Justcoz from Santa Cruz

Hi All,

I finally pulled the trigger on a kayak.  I have so much to learn but like the challenge.  I did a guided tour prior to covid and loved it and I have been itching to get into it.

I am a little nervous as I don't know people in the kayak fishing community and I have gone out twice from the Santa Cruz Harbor by myself, but I don't want to venture past the mile buoy, especially all alone.

Is there a sober group of kayakers or community of kayakers who are in recovery?  Thanks again and I look forward to meeting some people out on the water.

Rick

Welcome to the madness!

Regarding sober crew... I don't see much drinking on the water from the NCKA folks I've been out with.  I know there are OGs here who are sober and I've met plenty of other sober folks in the lot.  We're a pretty inclusive and respectful bunch for sure.

Thank you Spiffy

Friendliest club you will ever have joined

See you on the water soon 

Welcome aboard Rick 

I'll be on the water in SC a lot this summer. Hope to see you then...

Welcome to NCKA Rick.   

Welcome to the club. I just joined, so far everyone I have met is cool. I am in the north bay but do plan to go out to Monterey this summer, just look for a post and answer. If you're ever near San Rafael, let me know, Ron.
