Bay Resistance Brigade Paddle Out

Calling all SUP’ers, kayakers, boaters, sailors, and surfers: we will be in the SF Bay by Crissy Field to show our resistance against white supremacy, neo-Nazism, fascism, and all forms of bigotry.

DIRECTIONS and TIMES:
Here is how we *hope* it will go down (check back here on FB Saturday morning for updates in case this plan must be changed).
— We will paddle out together at 1:30 pm from the Wave Organ. (search “Wave Organ SF” on google maps for how to get there).
— Some of us will be meeting at the wave organ as early as 11:30 am. Bring lunch and snacks to share.
—There will be no parking anywhere. Plan on having a friend drop you off. Marina Green will be very crowded. How close you can get dropped off will depend on how early you get there. Plan on carrying your board for some distance.
–ONLY STRONG AND EXPERIENCED PADDLERS: the current and wind in the SF Bay are no joke. You may be paddling non-stop for the entire time.
—Please wear a PFD (life vest) and use a leash for your board.
— Read the list of prohibited items if you expect that you might at some point paddle onto the beach at Crissy Field. It is unclear whether the police or park rangers will allow anyone to paddle to shore at Crissy Beach, as they have two entrances with gates and security that they want everyone to pass through.
–Bring sunscreen, a hat, wetsuit, and booties or water shoes (in case you have to get in or out on a rocky part of the shore).
–Other items to bring: waterproof dry bag, drinking water, food, marine horn (non-aerosol), whistles and other noisemakers, signs, flags, waterproof bag (for your phone and shoes and keys).
–Let’s be seen and heard! #resist
