Remember how much fun trick-or-treating was as a kid? Now there’s an equally fun (and age-appropriate) outlet for adults to celebrate Halloween. Witches and warlock kayaking and/or paddle events are sweeping the nation. What started as a fall social scene in larger city centers has branched out to outlying hamlets. Even smaller towns are now offering halloween centric, on water events.

Below, Sandy Carrell (@lovemykayak), Eddyline superfan, gives us some ideas for celebrating all-hallows-eve by water, and why it’s cast such a spell on her and her paddling community.
“It all started last year with a SUP witch’s paddle,” explains Carrell. “Since I stay warmer in a kayak I opted to paddle myEquinox and lent mysit-on-top Caribbean 12FS to a friend. One of the reasons I love dressing up and paddling for Halloween so much is that my birthday is October 29th which makes me a pretty witchy baby. I think it is really fun to decorate kayaks with friends and get in the spirit. Other holidays we celebrate in a similar way are Christmas, New Years and we also host a crazy hat paddle.”
If you’re ever in Redding California around one of these holidays, look up Carrell on instagram or the Eddyline owners facebook page. Witches paddle photos are taken at Whiskeytown Lake, Brandy Creek Beach area.
