UpcomingGolden Gate Bridge (kayak/SUP)
- September 2, 2023
7:00 am - 11:00 am
This swim begins at the beach near the West Bluff Picnic Area. Swimmers jump in at the South Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, then swim along the length of the bridge toward Sausalito, finishing when the swimmers touch Fingerpoint Rock (aka Needles). Paddlers will escort swimmers, help them to correct their sighting, and provide emergency support as needed. You must have your own kayak or SUP to participate, but experience is not necessary. We will help you get started and teach you more on the water in each event that you support. This swim finishes a long way from the start, so paddlers will receive boat rides from the finish back to the West Bluff Picnic Area.
To sign up, get a free kayaker ticket and then check your email for a registration confirmation. You must provide a valid mailing address where you can receive payment, and also to confirm at sign-in that we are paying the correct person. You may also request to be paid electronically.
Paddlers will launch from West Bluff Picnic Area and finish at Fingerpoint Rock (aka Needles) near Sausalito
Please review your responsibilities as a kayaker before signing up.
