About this Event

Social Halloween Paddle - Wakefield

Join us for a SUP and kayak social halloween night paddle! Everyone is invited to participate in a night paddling adventure on the local canals in the Wakefield District.

Everyone should have a head torch and put some lights (e.g. outdoor strip lights) on the paddleboard or kayak to make it visible.

!!! Fancy Halloween dress or masks are welcome!

These outings are peer paddles, so please read the details below for more information. While registration isn't required, you can secure a free ticket to receive updates in case of cancellations, such as due to weather conditions. Additional information will also be posted on our Facebook page.

Please note that these peer paddles are not organised by the club and are not covered by our insurance. During an Independent Paddle, no one is responsible for the overall safety or well-being of the group, and there is no designated leader. While someone may help coordinate meeting times and locations, they hold no more authority than any other participant.

Each individual is responsible for their own equipment and safety, and everyone is expected to act responsibly. Participants should look out for themselves and each other while staying within their own limits.

Requirements:

- You must be confident in the water and the conditions you are paddling in.

- You should feel comfortable with the skills of others in the group.

- Conduct your own risk assessment based on water levels, weather, etc.

- Be realistic about your own abilities; if you're unsure, it's best to walk around a challenging section.

Everyone should have a head torch and put some lights (e.g. outdoor strip lights) on the paddleboard or kayak to make it visible.
