About the Storm Gathering
Launching in Surf The Georgian Bay Storm Gathering is for intermediate paddlers and instructors seeking one last weekend paddling on the Bay before winter sets in. Together, we'll work through a practical yet informal weekend of sea kayaking with emphasis on changing conditions, safety/risk management, and open crossings.

On-land workshops will include safety, coaching, trip planning, leadership and group management. On-water sessions will focus on navigation, boat handling, boat repair, leadership & incident management.  Evenings will include socials and special presentations.

We expect everyone to come, ready to share, participate and have fun. Your development as a paddler will be entirely up to you. We're here to create opportunities for learning.

Okay, here's the real reason. David and Tim wanted to get wet and cold in wind and waves with a bunch of other paddlers, then come back to warm cabins and tell lies stories about it in great detail.
