Living on the most eastern of the San Juan archipelago islands, Fidalgo island, the variety of trip & training paddle routes from here are endless. While strong currents do exist in nearly every channel surrounding our island shores, learning how to use these currents to travel in the back eddies, the mid-channel-river-like 'green tongue', along with harnessing the strength of the winds (with kayak sails), is what paddling the San Juans is all about to us... Efficiency. Speed. Using what Nature offers to help us achieve our paddling (distance travelling & racing speed) goals. Which sometimes mandates a combination of styles & skills from river and sea kayaking mixed in with occasional surfing and sailing. Adreline rushes. Personal Speed Records. Risk-taking. Innovation. ~Paddle the Islands and let Nature Inspire.~

Kayaking at Deception Pass


Playing at Deception Pass from Island Paddlers on Vimeo.

From practicing peel outs in a tandem Necky Nootka Plus, to surfing standing waves to sea caving and then being surrounded by Dalls porpoises...
You just never know what adventures are possible until you spend a few hours playing at 'the Pass'!
