The North Sound Sea Kayaking Association is a paddling club founded in 1985 to promote the enjoyment and safety of sea kayaking through trips, instruction, and information exchange. NSSKA is run solely by volunteer members who organize and lead trips all over the Puget Sound area. While most of our kayaking is in salty waters, we also paddle lakes and the occasional river.
Whether we're on a day trip or taking an extended adventure trip, our mantra is to enjoy and be safe. We ensure both by providing training to members on an ongoing basis and by offering trips for different preferences and skill levels.
From October through April, we hold monthly online meetings. We invite speakers to present demonstrations, slide shows and videos, and lead discussions of interest to all sea kayakers. Topics include boats and equipment, safety and seamanship, navigation, marine biology, and paddling adventure reports. Non-members are welcome to attend.Watch our event calendar for details..
Whether you are a beginner, expert or somewhere in between, you will find friends and support for your sea kayaking adventures in NSSKA. A final word: We are committed to sustaining our beautiful marine environment and creatures who share it. Learn how you can help on these websites:
