Earth Day— Paddle the Bay!

Join us for a morning of paddle boarding and being with the elements in beautiful Ballena Bay, Alameda.

What we’ll do:

We’ll meet in the patio area in front of SeaTrek’s office. There will be a short meet and greet, introduction, and safety talk before getting on the water. The paddle boarding will be a peaceful, leisurely 60 min. journey around the lagoon, passing by the houses on the water, and being with the universal elements. Weather permitting, we’ll go under the bridge and traverse Ballena Bay beach. There will be a few stops as we take in the scenery and our senses.

When we arrive back, we’ll have a light snack, followed by a guided meditation and a ceremony on the beach to honor Mother Earth.

9.30 am to 9.45 am: Meet, gear up, safety talk.

9.45 am to 10.45 am: Paddle around Ballena Bay.

10.45 am to 11:30 am: Back on land. Short break with healthy snacks.

11:30 am to 12 pm: Meditation on the Universal Elements.

12 pm to 12:30 pm: Beach Ceremony + Closing.

What’s included:

• 60 min. SUP rental with life vests
• Guided SUP tour. This is not yoga and SUP. This is not a class to learn how to SUP, though some basic guidance will be offered.
• Meditation and Beach Ceremony
• Light refreshments
• Good vibes

Good to know:

• All levels of paddleboarding are welcome. Though it’s not likely that you will fall into the water, swimming proficiency is required.
• You will need to sign a liability waiver on the day of the event.
• Your personal items can be stored in your car, at Seatrek, or at the Hanuman Holistic Living office.

What to bring:

• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
• Quick-dry materials (nylon, polypropylene, capilene, lycra). Avoid cotton—when it gets wet it stays wet and you get cold.
• You will be wearing a life vest, so dress accordingly. You can wear a shirt/tank top or long sleeve top underneath.
• Bottoms can be: shorts, bathing trunks, yoga tights, windbreaker style pants, workout pants.
• Footwear: You can be barefoot on the paddleboard or wear waterproof shoes (ie. Tevas) that have a backstrap (so you won't lose them in the water).
• Available for use at no extra charge, courtesy of SeaTrek: Windbreakers (nylon tops and pants), neoprene jackets, Farmer John/Jane-style wetsuits
• Change of clothes in case you get wet out on the water
• Bottled water
• If you plan to have your phone/camera with you, it will need to be carried around your neck. You will be wearing a life vest, so using a backpack or fanny pack will not be suitable.

Cost: $65/person Early Bird through 7/5/2026. $75 after. If you have your own paddleboard that you'll be using, please reach out to us for a discount. E-mail: contact@hanumanholisticliving.com
