Thank you to all the participants and coaches/guides who made the event a success!
We had proper conditions for the sea kayak/advanced sea kayak leader training and gorgeous, sunny weather for the main event. Sunday was definitely a capstone day with wind working against tide to create fun learning environments for all levels.
Check back here for photos/video which will be coming soon!

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.
Hope to "sea" you at the Autumn Gales!
