2020 AUTUMN GALES THANK YOU
Thank you to all the participants and coaches for supporting Autumn Gales through a challenging time. And although the event format was quite different from previous years with smaller groups, chilly outdoor briefings, social distancing, and missing our friends from other countries, the Autumn Gales spirit still burned bright. Mother Nature still served up her best with a mix of snow, cold, wind and bright sunny days. And old friends, new faces and a strong paddling community came together to prove that kayakers are a resilient bunch. Thank you again for your support, stay safe on the water and elsewhere, and save the dates for the 2021 Autumn Gales.
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.
