Kayaking With the Cleveland Fagowees
Like skiing without the gravity.
When the snow melts, we pivot!
When the snow melts, we Fagowees don’t disappear — we just trade edges for paddles. This is where evening cruises morph into pub nights, squirt guns come out for no good reason, and old jokes get recycled. Some days it’s a mellow sunset paddle, other days it’s an overnight trip with boats loaded, hammocks pitched, campfires lit, and stories that improve dramatically by morning. If you’re an expert paddler who can read a river like a trail map — we need you. Complete novice? You’re welcome too – someone’s got to buy the beer! Same crew, same sense of humor, same goal: get outside and have a ridiculous amount of fun together.
Kayaking FAQ
It certainly helps! Some of our trips have rental places. Or you could borrow your brother-in-law’s, steal one or make one out of an old Amazon boxes. On the other hand, you only live once and it is a pile of fun. Buy a kayak!
Yes as long as they are over 25, appreciate classic rock and can join us for a beer.
Hmmm. The Fagowees might not be the right club for you. Maybe join the Snowballers.
What’s to know? Sit in the kayak. Hold the paddle. Move your hands like they are pedaling a bike. Boom! You are kayaking.
Wearing a PFD helps avoid spending too much time on the bottom of the lake. We will help you get back in, pumped out and dried off. And maybe give you some gentle teasing for the next, oh, ten miles or so.
Fun kayaking. We know what we are doing. We just refuse to act like it the whole time.
