Girls Who Paddle

Girls Who Paddle SD is a women's paddleboarding community based in San Diego. We host weekly donation-based paddles that welcome women-identifying people of all skill levels, ages, and backgrounds, whether you've been on a board for years or are trying it for the very first time.

What started in 2026 as a simple idea to find other women to paddle with has grown into a community of thousands. Beyond our weekly paddles, we host social events throughout the year that bring members together off the water, from themed paddles to seasonal gatherings. At our core, we're about building friendships, supporting one another, and creating a space where women can try something new and feel like they belong.
