Paddle Babes is a laid-back, supportive, fun paddle club for ladies who want to build community and enjoy the waterways of Charleston on kayaks (SUPs to come later this spring). No experience required!

We explore different creeks and rivers around Charleston at a leisurely pace, typically traveling 2–3 miles, launching from public boat ramps.

Sometimes we’ll plan a picnic and stop on an island, sometimes we’ll just float along the current and watch the dolphins, and sometimes we’ll learn new skills. Expect something different every time we meet!

Each club meets 2x per month. You choose the club that works for you: Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday. Schedules are below!

High Tide provides the kayaks/SUPs and all equipment—bring your water, snack (optional), and sense of adventure!

As long as your equipment is appropriate for our venues, you're welcome to bring it. However, there's currently no discount for members who use their own equipment.

• 2 meetups per month, all locations and routes planned for the tides, current, and weather

• kayaks, life jackets, and equipment at every meetup

• instruction as needed

• dry bag for your use during class

• phone dry bag for you to keep!

• Paddle Babes merch

• supportive, welcoming community for all skill levels

$150 per month, paid before the beginning of the month. This costs less than two 2-hour tours at most Charleston outfitters. (And you're getting two 3-hour tours PLUS built-in community!)

Your commitment is monthly, and you can cancel at the end of any month.
