Hobuck campground, Neah bay,  Ready to launc at 9 AM

Everyone that signs up for this paddle or clinic needs to ALSO sign up for the June 10 - 14 Sea Kayak -- Hobuck (ie, Surf Zone and Beyond) activity so we have a head count of everyone who's coming (even if you are just coming for part of it) and everyone must bring their ID and proof of vaccination to be admitted to the Makah Reservation.

A one day clinic devoted to introducing students to paddling safely in the surf zone.  This will not be about surfing, instead you'll learn how to traverse the surf zone safely in a loaded boat. 

If the conditions are too flat we will cancel the clinic and convert the day paddle.

There is a Makah yearly recreational permit required to use the beach.
