The San Francisco Bay Area Sea Kayakers (BASK) is a club dedicated to the safe enjoyment of the sport of sea kayaking. BASK provides a forum for people to meet other paddlers, generate ideas for new trips and promote safe sea kayaking. We teach each other about bay and ocean ecology, kayaking techniques and safety; we help each other improve our sea kayaking skills; we share experiences, information on local marine conditions, warnings about hazards and unsafe procedures. One of our goals is to establish a feeling of community among Bay Area Sea Kayakers.
