Sign ups are first come first serve! Links will open at 9PM sharp on Sunday.
Fancy an activity slightly more rewarding than paddleboarding? Then I can only suggest prone boarding. If you haven’t heard of it - no worries, many haven’t. Join Peaks and the wonderful Professor Rook Campbell as we adventure through the waters of Alamitos bay attempting this bewildering activity.
DISCLAIMER - YOU MUST BE A STRONG SWIMMER
Nervous in open water? Haven’t Swam since High School? That’s okay! Peaks has plenty of trips for you - but not this one. This activity is geared towards strong swimmers, so if you have any doubts about your swimming capabilities, we’d love to see you on any of our (non-water-based) hikes!
PACKING LIST:
WAIVERS
Sunscreen
Swimsuit / Clothes you don’t mind getting wet
Water
Water appropriate shoes ( Think flip flops and such)
Snacks! (If you fancy)
STRONG SWIMMING SKILLS
PROFESSOR: Rook Campbell
DEPARTMENT: Communications
RATE MY PROFESSOR: "Super cool guy."
Professor Campbell’s work as a scholar, community leader, and storyteller is concerned with the ordinary, everyday encounters of sport, play, and games.
As a professor, Campbell explores the politics, money, and culture of sports. These academic workings may be laden with theory, but ultimately, the primary sports stakeholder is simple. Sport is about humans and lived experiences.
PEAK: Alamitos Bay
DIFFICULTY: 3/5 (MUST BE A STRONG SWIMMER)
SCENERY: Lovely views of the stunning neighborhood of Naples in Long Beach.
FUN FACT: Alamitos Bay is a protected area. It is safe thanks to a natural sand bar called the Peninsula. The Long Beach Breakwater also helps protect it.
