Paddle Out for SBMM!
September 10, 2023 @ 9:00 am PDT
SBMM is pleased to announce the return of its annual Paddle Out Party (POP!), which will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 10, 2023 at Leadbetter Beach.
With great food; cool music; activities for kids; and a paddle out featuring every kind of person-propelled craft, the fun-filled day is not to be missed! Participate in the Paddle Out by registering as an individual or by creating or joining a team. Registrants may enter in one of five categories – swimmer, surfboard, stand-up paddle board, kayak/canoe, or dory/rowboat. Teams can include up to five individual registrants. The friendly, rewarding competition will help SBMM raise funds via participants’ personal networks while also providing the opportunity to receive prizes.

The experience of paddling out is symbolic of the ocean bringing people together while honoring an individual. For SBMM, paddling out is a celebration of the museum’s commitment to the connections we all share with our oceans and the underwater world. It is an opportunity to bring the community together as we work to preserve and steward Santa Barbara’s natural environment and rich maritime history.
Help us make the Paddle Out a success! Funds raised allow the museum to do its good work even better, showcasing exciting exhibitions, providing for hands-on educational experiences; and building community through gatherings and events – all while highlighting 13,000 years of maritime history – from Chumash culture to today’s surfing and environmental movements.
