What to expect

Come as you are! We will paddleboard together, then slow down around the bonfire with s’mores and De Soi drinks to reflect on the year, let go of what we are ready to leave behind, and set our intentions for what comes next.

1

Paddleboard together

We meet at 2:15 PM and launch at 3:00 PM for a calm 1.5 hour paddleboard session with the group and a moment of gratitude!

2

Bonfire and s’mores

After we clean the boards, we gather around the bonfire for s’mores, De Soi drinks, and time to get to know each other! Sunset is around 4:45 PM, and the event ends at 7:00 PM.

3

Goodie bags

Take home a little bag with a crystal. We will also have prompts to help you set your intentions for the new year. Put what you want to let go of in the bonfire, and take home what you want to carry with you.

Reserve ahead

Need a board?

Rentals are available through our partner Sunchaser SUP! Reserve your board separately through Dana. You can find the booking link in our bio and on our Linktree.

Rentals sell out and there are no walk-up rentals, so please reserve ahead of time! Renting a board? You still need to RSVP above, even if you have already been confirmed for a rental.

Heads up

Your rental confirmation will show an address. Please do not go there. Dana meets us at our location, so head to the meetup spot we post in our Discord on the day of the event.

Good to know

Please RSVP by Saturday

Please RSVP by Saturday, November 14. You can come last minute, but we will make sure the goodie bags go to the people who RSVP’d ahead of time first.

What does it cost?

This is donation based. The suggested donation is $15, and you can pay what you can.

Where do we meet?

Mission Bay, San Diego. Location details are in your RSVP confirmation, and we post the exact spot in our Discord on the day of the event.

Do I need experience?

No! All levels are welcome, including first timers.

What should I bring?

Your paddleboard (or rent one), a warm layer, a chair if you want to sit around the bonfire, a towel, water, a dry bag, and sunscreen.

What safety gear do I need?

Please bring your own PFD (life jacket) and leash, unless you are renting a board. If you have a light for your board, please bring it, since it may start getting dark as we are coming in.

Can I bring a kayak?

Yes! Kayaks are welcome too.

Can I bring my child?

Yes, you can bring your minor child. We never want a lack of childcare to be the reason someone misses out. This is an adult women’s paddleboarding group, so we ask that you please be mindful of that. For many of you this is a much-needed break from childcare, so we hope it can be a little me time for you, too!

What if the weather is bad?

If the weather is bad, we will reschedule for another day, and we will post any cancellations or changes in our Discord. We can never truly predict the weather, so please use your own best judgment about what feels safe for you. If we cancel due to weather and you’ve donated, you can either message me asking for your donation to be refunded, or you can apply it to a future meetup.

Do I still need to check in if I RSVP’d?

Yes. Even though you RSVP’d ahead of time, please still check in when you arrive at the event.

First time joining us?

First timers sign a waiver with us. You can sign it ahead of time or at check-in. We will have a pink popup and a vertical banner, so we should be easy to spot!

All women welcome
