Why Join Coastals?
- Coastals is for everyone who enjoys human-powered watersports in every region of Virginia - whether you paddle a canoe, kayak or recreational craft, prefer sea or fresh water, love to carve whitewater waves or run rivers or creeks, or just enjoy tooling around in flat water. Coastals members enjoy a choice of trips almost every weekend for just about any skill/age level.
- Coastals speaks out with the voice of its membership to encourage environmental responsibility for keeping Virginia's and America's rivers clean. Public accessibility issues, including disabled accessibility issues, are also addressed.
- With Coastals, you'll have a chance to learn new rivers and make new friends who share a passion for watersports and a love of the outdoors. Coastals members range widely in age and skill level, so finding folks who are willing to help with a new skill or show the safe (or adventurous!) lines down a river is easy - finding shuttle partners and boaters who know the good put-ins and take-outs is easy, too. Coastals members can be found everywhere in Virginia (and beyond).
- When safety classes and roll/technique clinics are given, Coastals members may take them at a discount; some are free.
- DISCOUNTS! $10 discount off your American Whitewater membership. $10 off your individual American Canoe Association membership or $20 off the ACA family membership. 10% discount at Appomattox River Company.
- Every member receives a Coastals sticker, the quarterly newsletter, the CaNews and an annual roster of the membership.
- Members may submit photos and trip reports for inclusion on the website and the newsletter.
- Trying work on that elusive roll or find out more about a certain river/location? Coastals members have access to borrow many paddling books and videos in the Coastals Library - at no charge.
