MAKAI MOON SERIES

Buck Moon: The Returning Tide

Join us for the inaugural Makai Moon Series as we paddle into the sunset and return beneath July’s Full Buck Moon.

For generations, the full moon has been a time to pause, reflect, and honour life’s natural rhythms. During our evening on the water, you’ll be invited to take a quiet moment of reflection before placing a fresh flower on the lake—a simple gesture of gratitude for where you’ve been and intention for the path ahead.

No meditation experience is needed. Just a love of being on the water and a willingness to slow down for an unforgettable evening.

Experience Includes

• Guided sunset & moonrise paddle
• Full moon reflection on the water
• Fresh flower release

Experience Required

This is not an introductory paddle. Participants should be confident and comfortable paddleboarding on open water.

If you’re new to stand-up paddleboarding, we’d love to welcome you to one of our beginner coaching sessions before joining a future Makai Moon Series event.

For safety, each paddler is required to bring a waterproof white light (headlamps work well). Waterproof safety lights are available upon request if arranged in advance.

Wednesday, July 29

Fifteen years ago, Makai started with a simple idea: share the joy of stand-up paddleboarding and help people feel at home on the water.

Since then, we’ve had the privilege of paddling alongside thousands of people, from complete beginners finding their confidence to experienced paddlers looking to refine their skills. Every season has brought new friendships, unforgettable sunsets, and a community that continues to expand.

This season, Makai is evolving.

With small group guided paddles, private coaching, and custom paddle experiences, the focus is on creating a more personal, relaxed, and meaningful time on the water.

Whether you’re looking to learn, improve, or simply enjoy a paddle with great people, we would love to welcome you.
