Have our recent low-water Octobers bummed you out? Here’s a hint – the ocean is never too low. And if you’ve never tried ocean surfing in your river kayak, you’re missing out! Hobuck has a nice long beach where one can almost always find friendly waves. And even if the glassies aren’t working great, the “soup zone” is a perfect place to practice your side surfing before you really need – or want – it on a river! And I’m happy to provide pointers & tips to get you started. Plus, Hobuck has great, laidback camping with some amenities (showers, bathroom, etc.). Or if you’re feeling less rustic, there are cabins you can rent (the ones in the campground will be closer to those of us camping). My plan is to be there Fri-Sun, but feel free to join whenever. I’ve set each day up as its own trip, so if you feel so inclined, sign up for the days you plan to join. Or if that’s too complicated, just pick one… For you sea kayakers who clicked on this link thinking this might be a sea kayak event… I’ll be surfing in river and surf kayaks and working with those in similar boats. But you’re more than welcome to join in the fun!

Let’s spend the weekend exploring some of the amazing rivers on the Olympic Peninsula. Specifics are TBD until we have a read on levels for the weekend. But likely candidates include the Humptulips, Matheny, Wyncoochee, Calawah, Sitkum, and Sol Duc. Difficulty wise, we’ll try and stick with options that are mostly class III/III+ with the possible occasional class IV (that could hopefully be portaged if desired). I’ve created separate trips for both Saturday and Sunday, so assuming you’ll be joining both days please sign up for both. For those hoping to join only for Saturday, just sign up for that day. If you only want to join for Sunday, we’ll see if we can pick our location with confidence sometime by end-of-week. But that’s not always possible

My plan for this year is to step back from a formal itinerary and just coordinate this as a social weekend of paddling and camping at Matheny. Assuming levels cooperate, my (personal) plan is to hopefully paddle upper (IV) + middle (III) one day, and ½ middle (III) + lower (IV) the other day. But there are lots of options in the vicinity, both on Matheny itself as well as on the surrounding rivers - everything from class II (Queets), class III (middle Matheny), to class IV+ (V) (Sams). My expectation is that everyone will pick and choose their own adventure and coordinate with those that have similar interests and abilities. If you’re not sure if others signed up will have similar interests & abilities as you, feel free to let me know your expectations and I’ll happily help you partner up for something that should suit your needs. Or better yet, have your regular paddling posse sign up as well… I’m happy to provide guidance on options but won’t necessarily be there to show/guide you down the river. The adventure is all part of OP paddling! I’ve set each day up as its own trip, so if you feel so inclined, sign up for the days you plan to join. Or if that’s too complicated, just pick one…
