#tiktoktuesday Each of our trips at MKC have their own unique experience. At Surf City, paddlers enjoy grub and some live music. This outdoor venue has great energy and tons of seating - we would argue it a member and crowd favorite.

Feeling that hump day slump?

Sometimes all you need is the water, a boat, some friends to hit that mental reset button! We are serious advocates for finding balance between work and play. We know our favorite way is to be here with our paddle family moving our bodies and enjoying the gift of the Hudson River!!

We just pulled our 7 oyster cages out of the water! The oysters grow year round in rope-suspended cages…spawning and thriving! The Billion Oyster Project guides us.

Did you know NYC was the oyster capital of the world? Our oysters were as big as dinner plates. People here ate them back in 6950 B.C. European settlers over-harvested them and polluted the water until they were nearly gone.

Restoring oysters to NYC means cleaning the water and enriching the food web. They filter a huge amount of water and suspended material. And oysters have beating hearts too! ❤️

@billionoyster @hudsonriverpark

Thanks to @davisjanowski , MKC guide, for being such an integral component of our involvement and letting us use his cages during our kids camp for educational purposes!

Oct 1

Its FRIDAY and October!!! Which means we are back for another amazing weekend of paddling and its officially SPOOKY SEASON! Be sure to get your last paddles of the season in these next few weekends!

⁠
Did you know that every Wednesday night we offer Speed Training? ⁠
⁠
Speed training is not only a time set aside for paddlers to refine technique at a faster pace but if you ask many of our paddlers, they come to get there booty kicked mid-week and preparing them for any upcoming paddle trips they might be signed up for or working toward.⁠
⁠
Come hammer it out with Coach Judy on Wednesday nights, she'll definitely help you on your way to better fitness and faster paddling!⁠

We hope you have been enjoying how glorious this weather is now that days are less steamy and nights are cooling down! Not to rush off this incredible weather, you'll start to see more posts from us about gear and winter paddling for those of you who have completed our Basics programs. ⁠
⁠
Even now we are starting to recommend people to start bringing a long sleeve or layer for their post paddle/class commute home. ⁠
⁠
Whether kayaking or on a SUP, gear varies but the goal is always to keep you warm, safe, and able to enjoy the paddling year round experience. There really isn't anything quite like it so keep your eyes peeled for more fun information to come!⁠

Have you ever noticed when you try to do something (anything) at a faster pace, you tend to lose control and get a bit wild? ⁠
⁠
Speed training is an hour and a half dedicated to refining technique at a faster cadence. Coach Judy spends time on the water with you helping you hone in on key elements that will push your speed on the water. Whether looking to start racing or to get onto a longer more advanced trip, speed training is a fun environment to continue honing your craft and speed. Join us Wednesday nights from 7pm - 8:30pm⁠

Little Island is a coveted trip to go on especially during the music festivals! Not only do you get to see the island from the vantage point of the water, you can also paddle underneath and see the amazing and unique architecture from below! ⁠
⁠
It isn't a super long trip but you do get a nice solid paddle, paddle only views and often times hear/see some of the performances from your board/boat.⁠
⁠
Hoping to see this view for yourself? ⁠
Our next Little Island trip is this Sunday and there are still slots available! Sign up at the link in our bio!⁠

The Hudson River become a flat reflective mirror with fewer boats and weaker breeze in the autumn. Stunning! We hope to spot migrating menhaden, striped bass and more dolphins.

Beginner lessons and river trips go until October 16. Graduates of our Kayak Basics or SUP Basics 4-lesson series can join experienced paddlers in Fall and Winter. Starting November 1, fall trips begin to Water’s Soul, Baylander, TriBeCa and Ellis Island!🗽

Have you ever taken the @hudsonriverpark bike path to get to us? Not only will you end in paradise (with us on the water) but you’ll see other staples along the way including the vessel, the Frying Pan, little Island, and other NYC favorites, but our personal favorite part of the bike is the flowers all along the the way! As everyone dives into school, work this fall, or just stuck in the NYC dweller mindset, its easy to forget to slow down enough to smell the flowers!

Congrats kayak & SUP crew on 33 miles round trip to Alpine New Jersey! Journeying through wide open water and blue skies, we stop at a hidden waterfall nestled along the Hudson River. It burst forth last year. Now it’s a trickle. Riding the ebb back home, the team catches a saxophonist jamming on the West Side Highway.

The next Alpine Trips are October 1st and October 29th’s Fall Foliage Tour.

Guided by @davisjanowski. 📸Shots by Sean @212webers, Clement @marx_photos, Davis @davisjanowski and Joe @jo.hill.e. #nyc #waterfall #hudsonriver #kayaking #standuppaddleboarding #outdooradventures #newjersey #yonkers #fitnessmotivation #outdoorfitness
