Big Bend Paddle Events

SGI Kayak Clinic
Want to take a free kayak lesson this month and get up close to one of Florida's most beautiful state parks? The Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George State Park will host a free Kayak 101 clinic on Saturday, May 13 and again on Saturday, May 20 to teach basic paddling skills. Park rangers and volunteers will teach basic paddling skills and introduce participants to the park's unique plants and wildlife during the hour-long training and a two mile excursion around the park's scenic bayside. Kayaks will be available at the park or participants may bring their own. The clinics, which will run from 1:30- 4:30 pm, are free with your paid admission into the park. Registration is limited.

Paddle Jam, May 5-7, Apalach
Grab your kayak and head to the coast May 5-7 and join in what organizers hope will be another world-record attempt to gather the largest number of kayaks together in one floating mass to break the current Guiness world record. The three-day Forgotten Coast PaddleJam event is sponsored by the Forgotten Coast Paddle Club. The Guiness World record attempt is just one activity planned as part of the area-wide fund-raising event featuring paddle sports, music and food. Other activities planned include kayak and SUP races and live music throughout the county.
