Don’t be a Stick in the Mud.  Come to SSTIKS 2015.

SSTIKS logoThe Northwest’s Premier, Family Friendly gathering for traditional paddling.
Great paddling in a beautiful location with some of the best coaches around. And you can bring the kids!

 

 

  • Do I need to paddle a skin on frame boat?   No, Most people paddle standard kayaks. There will be plenty of boats and greenland padles to borrow though!

  • What will I learn at SSTIKS?  There will be classes on forward strokes, rescues, paddle carving, harpooning and lots and lots of rolling.

  • Sounds fun – what else?  Races, dead fish polo and much more.

  • Yummy food?  Of course. Delicious meals and a salmon barbecue.

  • Can I bring the kids?  SSTIKS is family friendly.  Bring the kids, drop them off at the kids track and pick them up three days later.

  • Sounds good .  Is it expensive?  A mere pittance.  $30-85 depending on things.

  • When is SSTIKS? – June 12-14.
