🌺 Spring Fling: Luau on the Bay 🌺
Kickoff to Friday paddles… island style 🌊🔥
Friday, April 17th, 2026
Meet: 5:45 PM PST · Launch: 6:15 PM PST
Start/Finish: Ski Beach, Mission Bay (pin in event photos)
Route: Ski Beach → Barefoot Bar (quick toast + island vibes) → Ski Beach
Theme: Spring time meets aloha — leis, floral shirts, grass skirts, tropical fits, sunset colors… bring the island energy.
(Keep it paddle-safe and secure anything that could fly off.)

What We’re Doing
We’re bringing a little slice of paradise to Mission Bay with a golden hour luau on the water. After launch, we’ll cruise over to Barefoot Bar for a quick toast, then paddle back as the sun drops and the bay lights up in full golden hour glow.
Irreverent. Warm. High-vibe.
This is your invitation to lean into spring, dress the part, and enjoy the water with the best crew in San Diego. 🌺
