My name is Jason Learned and welcome to "Northwest Paddling", an online resource for paddling in the Pacific Northwest.

I started paddling in 2009 after purchasing my first boat. I am currently a BCU 4 Star Leader and an ACA L4 Open Water Sea Kayak Instructor.

My hope is that the info on this site allows you to have a safe and enjoyable time on the water.

The Lumpy Waters Paddling Symposium in Pacific City Oregon is taking place October 20th-22nd 2013

The Deception Pass Dash is fast becoming a Northwest paddling tradition. December 8-9 2012.

The WKC is putting on a Basic Sea Kayak Course May 17-19th at Coronet Bay, in Deception Pass State Park
