Paddlesplash is a 3-day event held on Lake Natoma in Folsom, CA, located in Sacramento County. All levels of paddlers are welcome.
With multiple distances to choose from ( including our most popular: 2, 5 and 8 mile) there is a race for everyone! We also offer a "first timer" race, a Grom (kids) short course race, yoga on the water, board demos and paddle clinics. Racers in the 2, 5. 8 mile and Spectators can enjoy the action on the sandy beach. A fun weekend on the water for the entire family. We will have a beach/water clean up on Sunday at noon to close our festival.
Lake Natoma is one of the most beautiful lakes in Northern California and a paddlers paradise! The entire lake is a 5MPH zone, there is no current and both sides of the lake are protected from wind. These water conditions are perfect for the Elite paddler to see how fast they really can go and the beginner paddlers can try out racing in "glass" conditions.
PFD and leashes required.
State Parks parking fee required at toll booth. Parking fills up early - arrive early for a space.
The Lake Natoma Inn is our host hotel, you can launch your vessel from the parking lot and paddle to Folsom Prison!

Option 1: 9am to 11 am
Option 2: 4pm to 6 pm
Saturday August 5th Clinic
3 to 5 pm.
Cost per clinic: TBA
We will start with on land 1/2 hour warm up and alignment session and transition to the water paddle stroke and board handling skills.
I will always have an eye out for how your posture might be helping or hindering your paddle stroke.
From a movement perspective, posture and alignment have everything to do with how well you move.
If your posture is not in alignment then your coordination, power and efficiency are not at their maximum ability.
The next logical question is can I change that? Yes you can!
We will start the sessions with some simple but powerful exercises and move into break down of paddle stroke and board handling.
I will be including a new element to help you really dial in your paddle stroke and coordination so be ready for a fun challenge.
It will be hot and the sun is intense so make sure your sun screen, sun hat, sun glasses, and maybe a sun shirt and plenty of water!
You will need your board, paddle, pfd and leash.
