I would be interested in learning any advice you have for first time paddlers. This sounds like such a interesting trip I would like to hear what your thoughts are now that you have experienced it.

Re: paddle florida event in november,

I went on the March trip and I had the same concerns. We had one 25 mile day, but I was able to do just fine. The pace of the trip is strictly based on your own ability. I assure you, you will do fine. On the March trip we had hard core die hard paddlers and we had first timers. Just do it!

Re: Paddle Florida DVD and Jetter's DVD,
by paco25
There are two DVDs. One professionally produced video and a DVD of stills with music in the background. To order the video, one must send a check for $25 to the Paddle Florida P.O. Box on the website. To order the DVD of stills, one must contact Walt Jetter at the e-mail listed for him on under the staff/contact us menu item on the website. I believe he is charging $20 for that DVD.

Re: Meal question,
by paco25
We are forsaking the vegetarian option due to lack of interest and difficulty in getting specific numbers.
Meal question,
by midnightprairiegirl
Forgive me if the info is in there, but I didn't spot it. Do your meal deals offer any vegetarian options or is that left to individual to handle? Thanks again!
Re: Future Paddleflorida routes?,
by paco25
At this point in time we are planning to do Paddle Florida on the Suwannnee this November and next March. After that we might explore other regions. Depending on the location(s), we would determine the maximum number.
Future Paddleflorida routes?,
by midnightprairiegirl
Will there be trips other than the SRWT, such as coastal? If so, and even if you haven't mapped them out in detail, can you give an example? Would it still support 200? Thanks.

We had a tremendously successful inaugural event, and hope to repeat that success in community-building on the Suwannee River in November. Stay tuned to the website, blog and forum for updates.
The video for our inaugural event is nearly complete, and we may have some additional announcements soon concerning other technology and web-based projects.
