Yes...last year was AMAZING and I am hopeful that this year will be even better!!!

We will post up details SOON with a course for the paddle, how much raffle tickets will be, and exactly where the proceeds will go...

Here is the thread that describes last years event, and even though the venue and details may be  different this year, the concept remains the same!!

Proud to be a part of this.

Sincerely,

Please post more details!!!

This year's PIF event will be @ Del Monte Beach in Monterey.  That's the beach near MBK and the Wharf. We chose this venue because it will allow us to do everything in 1 place: parking, paddling, potlucking, and partying! (as opposed to last year's venue) And some would argue that there is also better fishing at the new location :~)

The route for the Paddle will go from Del Monte Beach to the red Mile Buoy, to the yellow weather buoy (in front of the Seaside Beach Hotel), and back to the beach. But we're still trying to iron a few things out. The route may be reversed depending on the wind & swell. Here's a temporary map to get an idea of the paddle route. It is approx 3 miles.



The tentative schedule is below:
--9am Launch and paddle the designated route
--12pm Begin the Potluck
--2pm Raffle time! Let's try to beat last year's total contributions of $6839!!! (this amount still blows me away...it's something we can ALL be proud of!)


If you would like more info or if you have a donation for the raffle, please contact one of the PIF Committee members (me, Alain, Andy, Big Jim, Porky, or Stoggie). I will compile a list of Raffle prizes and post it here. Last year's prizes were incredible and there were SO MANY prizes!
You can also send me a msg if you have questions about where to stay locally if you plan to make a vacation out of it.

Thanks, and Paddle On!

Im working on T-Shirts this year!.... There will bee A small fee which of course will be donated to the cause! ....

Great job,
You guys are alright for a bunch of A-Hulls
Couple questions:
1. will there still be a half way point for shots on the water
2. If Jim gets too excited do we have to shake hands and hug in public
3. With only 3 points on the coarse how will you make that great
    Monopoly board you had last year
 
 
See Ya There,
Eric / Yakhopper

3. With only 3 points on the coarse how will you make that great Monopoly board you had last year

Hows this?

No issues with holding the raffle on the beach? I remember there was last year, for some reason, although the raffle was allowed to go forward.

Pat, Alain, Andy, Jim, Brent, Stoggie: thanks for setting this up again, you guys rock!! 

Although I could not stay for the entire event last year, I was amazed and proud of the camerederie, support, & love all had! Tbh, it was this specific event that got me hooked into the madness To this day, I am always proud to say that I am an NCKA'r!!

Since the event will be held in Monterey, please do lemme know how I can be of any help!

Thanks again A-Hulls!!

Count me in...

I would love to join you guys on this event. Sounds like a blast! Not sure what June is looking like just yet but if I can carve out the time I will be there. Ether way I would still like to make a donation to the raffle.

Looking forward to this paddle again.  Let me know if I can help guys!  I will bring my AI with the sail this time.  Hopefully we get some wind.  Here is another video I did from last year just to get the party started.

Rey,

We need lots of help, specially with getting donations rolling in. Just like last year it is going to take everyone to make this happen! Thanks for asking!

Its been a busy year for most, so all the help we can get the better!
