A big thank you to Lowe’s Folsom and manager Paul for helping keep our waterways a little cleaner! 💙🌊

They generously provided NorCal SUP with new cleanup buckets and grabbers that we’ll put to good use during our post-PaddleSplash beach cleanup — and at community cleanups throughout the year.

These may be simple supplies, but they make a BIG difference when volunteers are out there doing the work. 🙌

Thank you, Paul and Lowe’s Folsom, for supporting cleaner beaches, healthier waterways, and our community! ♻️💦

🌊 SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: THE HINKEY TEAM! 🌊

When we say The Hinkey Team is ALL IN for PaddleSplash, we mean it! 🙌

Erika Pilimai and Jill Hinkey are sponsoring Sunday’s Big Splash — and Erika isn’t stopping there. She’s volunteering AND jumping on a board to take on the First Timers Race! 🏄‍♀️👏

Now, Erika may be a first-time racer…but rumor has it she has a certain private paddle coach helping her prepare. 👀😂 So don’t underestimate this rookie!

That’s the kind of support we love — not just helping make PaddleSplash possible, but showing up, jumping in and becoming part of the community.

A huge thank you to Erika, Jill and The Hinkey Team for supporting PaddleSplash and the work of NorCal SUP. 💙🌊

Erika, we’ll see you on that starting line. No pressure, Coach is watching. 😎
