I plan on being there. Sounds like a great paddle. Vin

I wish I could make this one but I cant. Im camping in the Berkshires, so I cant complain. Hopefully make the next one. Vin

Hey yall, I had an excellent first L3 trip and it was great to meet new paddlers. The broaching on the wave felt like---being a tiny me and accidently getting flushed down the toilet-only for a split second though. Hope to paddle with you again soon. Vin

Im up for it. Vin

I'm a beginner-2nd full season. Probably on L2 for skills. I would love a series type of instruction. I have taken an intro class at CRCK but need to learn more bracing/support stuff. I feel I should learn how to avoid capsizing-then learn to roll.I would also like to learn and practice a correct forward stroke. I would like to have assisted rescues down perfectly. I understand the lean thing but havent really used it much-so do I know it? Why do I turn when I paddle backwards? Hmmm...I was only going to mention the bracing when I started. I have been meaning to go to Tues. practices (I live around the corner) but work or weather gets in the way. I think Ill be there next Tues. Hopefully, Ill be a member by then. Vin

Im up for it. Hopefully the weather gods are on our side this time. Vin

Kevin, Is the paddle canceled? It doesnt look very good out there. Damn thunderstorms! Maybe we can wear rubber suits? Vin

Oops. Saturday- Excellent-Im still interested. Thanks, Vin

I would definitely be interested in a paddle Sun. I am not an NSPN member but am planning on joining soon. Sorry, posted as a new topic the first time. Vin

Yes. Troll?...No. That's not helpful or encouraging. Thanks for the info. The ACA affiliation makes sense to me. I appreciate your time. Vin

Hello all, I am new to sea kayaking and looking to join a 2nd club. I have a sincere question about membership dues. Membership to NSPN is 2-3x versus the other area clubs (BSKC,RICKA,ConnYAk). I believe you get what you pay for, but I cannot find any obvious differences-e.g. 2-3x the trips or practive sessions-for a beginner. Thus, I turn to the members. I am not looking to start a "my club is better than that club" argument. I am just a tightwad looking to get value for my money. Thanks in advance, Vin
