Hello Autumn Galers!
Thank you for a fun and fantastic event. This year definitely felt more "normal" with running the event out of NESS again and it was great to see so many past participants and new faces too! As is pretty typical with late October weather, mother nature did not disappoint with plenty of strong winds and large swell to create exciting challenges for everyone. The dates for 2022 main event are again in late October - Friday 10/28 through Sunday 10/30. In the meantime, hope you enjoy the 2021 video. Cheers, Greg and Paula |
What is the Autumn Gales?
The Autumn Gales is entering its second decade of being the premier rough water event on the East Coast and is held in one of the few areas in the U.S. that has tidal currents worthy of holding British Canoeing's Advance Sea Kayak Leader Training. Fisher's Island Sound is an amazing location and this event strives to create unique experiences to learn and gain experience with rough water paddling.
Our high level coaches and rough water guides create an environment where paddler's can test their comfort zone, gain confidence and continue their skills growth and seamanship. We pride ourselves on a low coach/guide to participation ratio that allows for a lot of individualized coaching. The event is geared towards a variety of paddlers - those that have a solid foundation on flat water and have experienced some bouncy water to those looking to hone their skills in the bigger stuff.
Come be a part of a fun community and sub-culture of rough water paddlers that are empowering to be around - sharing knowledge, exploring and building confidence.
