Girl Paddlers

We hear this constantly: "I have a kayak and I still can't find anyone to paddle with." It's the single most common thing paddlers tell us.

We put together a full breakdown of why that happens and what helps close the gap. Read it here: https://girlpaddlers.com/how-to-find-a-paddling-partner/

If that's you, join the Girl Paddlers Facebook group and post your city, your regular spot, and when you're usually free. That's the whole ask.

You have the gear. What's missing is someone to paddle with. Here's how to find kayaking groups near me and turn that into a real paddling partner.

Did you know? I told the email list about the 2027 retreat before I ever posted about it here. It's already sold out, the waitlist's the only way in now.

That's how I do it. I tell subscribers about retreats, new products, and partner discounts before anyone else hears about them. Not everyone catches every post in a group this size, but email's different, it's the one place I get to make sure this reaches you.

If you're not on the list yet, I'd love to have you there, and it's free. I write every issue myself, and I read every single reply.
